Well, the rumour about tall floodlight towers has been shown to be false, as the lights are in the front edge of the stand roof, as already mentioned here yesterday, and as seen on video of takeoff, yet now someone is suggesting it again.
The much speculated tail rotor has been anything between failed and already stationary while still in the air, or damaged by hitting the ground while still turning.
The hero pilot has been fighting the controls until the last moment, avoiding hitting the huge crowds, despite that the takeoff is about an hour after the end of the match, by which time most of them are at home, in the pub, or a few miles away by car ...
Proper accident diagnosis doesn't involve rumour.
