I make it at about 10 minutes after takeoff, zero airspeed, slow yaw right. Some heroics to get it on the ground with as little damage as they did from that point. How to get into that situation from cruise? Did they lose yaw thrust (and why), lowered the collective but never got the throttles off and didn’t keep or regain their 80 knots? Gear was down, how did they get time for that as it surely would have been up for cruise.

Have I got the planned routing about right? The yellow circle being the final resting place. Destination was the airport.
