How could an out of control bucket cause main rotor separation from the fuselage?
What an awful accident anyway.
This is merely notification to a database and was probably inputted by the duty office secreatary who knows nothing about helicopters. I would trust no information in the notification other than location---they had not even confirmed the other three deaths earlier, except to say they were on board.
