WI: Bond crew dies in BOAC Flight 911

According to TV Tropes, Albert R. Broccoli, Harry Saltzman, Ken Adam, Lewis Gilbert, and Freddie Young were in Japan finishing scouting for You Only Live Twice, when they learnt of a show they wanted to see so much they cancelled a flight. That flight was BOAC Flight 911, and it crashed near Mt. Fuji leaving no survivors.

I wondered what would happen to both James Bond and the Cold War-era 20th century pop culture landscape had this happened when I read this. Imagine if business superseded things and they took that flight.

My mind decided the James Bond series would be cancelled, or at least put on hiatus for a while. With Bond not running, how would this affect the spy genre, EON. 60's Britain, and the rest of the century?
