Playback on large screen mode and .5 speed: it appears that the TR is slowing down BUT video quality makes it very, very difficult to be certain. It does seem to indicate, however, that neither power was reduced nor that any attempt was made to enter full autorotation.

For some reason, I vaguely remember that the design of that system (unlike some others) between boost, SAS, and trim allows one to mitigate a trim runaway by disabling either SAS, trim or both.
Will see if I can find the old notebook, memory very hazy.
As I look at the first video, and mentally paste that end result to skadi's video, they appear to have been flying over a populated/built up area.
