Main rotor tip blades intact and leading edges not damaged. With main rotor aft blade damage means collective up and no or near zero rotor RPM.

Tail rotor picture of TR blade with impact damage but no rotational damage to leading edges TR blades not turning or near zero rpm.

Aircraft had to be desending with collective up and rotors not being driven by the engines.

Aircraft in all one spot so inpact was at near zero airspeed

Dual engine failure, fuel exhaustion?

Tail rotor drive failure, bad Autorotation?

Control system failure?


My prayers for the passengers and familys
