It's pretty clear which posts are "b*****ks" even to those of us who are mere SLF. I can understand how it must be immensely frustrating to the pros to see the drivel, but I don't think they should worry too much about it. From the descriptions on here and looking at the videos, it's clear to even the layman that if the helicopter is going round in circles the most likely reason is because something bad has happened at the back end. As for the exact cause, well the AAIB have a good track record by all accounts, and they now have the data recorder contents as well as the wreckage, photos and videos:

The digital flight recorder is in our laboratory. Although subject to intense heat in the post-accident fire, initial work on it has allowed us to successfully download the recordings. Our inspectors are verifying the extracted information and have started the detailed analysis of its contents.We would like to thank everyone who responded to our witness appeal. Our investigators are examining the videos and photographs we have received.
