VRS must feel awfully put upon here at Rotorheads....as it seems to get blamed for every incident no matter the evidence or aerodynamics existing at the time.
Yes VRS exists and can cause you problems if encountered.....but dressing it up in disguise and blaming it for what actually happened is very unfair to it.
LTE has been the lucky villain....with many of its victims being described as having fallen prey too many other perils when it is the design of the helicopter that did in its occupants.
But this is PPRuNe where opinions do not have to have any basis in fact.
