ow about: "Staying put" instead of pulling collective and flying away?
e.g. descending at same rate and waiting for ground effect to enable one to further back off collective, thereby reducing anti-torque needs?

I guess simply continuing to land would have save it. Is that an unrealistic assumption of me?
The difficulty with continuing his descent was the fact that there was a bus underneath him; possibly full of orphaned children.
