Another News article with a photo of the aircraft wreckage.

In all of the photos I. have seen....all with limited field of view....no signs of the Main Rotors is visible (at least to my old eyes).

One mention said the Tail Rotor was laying close by but separated from the main wreckage. Later it was described as being 300 feet away from the main wreckage which was badly damaged but mostly intact.

A different news report had this to say......

The helicopter was flying for about 105 minutes when witnesses observed the helicopter at an altitude of 2,000 feet, heard a loud boom and saw it fall. The wreckage is spread out an area of about 2,000 feet, McCarter said.

One Witness recounted having heard some unusual noises ("Clicking followed by a loud BOOM").

Can anyone add to the description of the crash scene beyond that?
