The combination of smoke, resistance in the collective and uncommanded excess torque would be really distracting. Coping with this event right seat SP?
Be interesting to see what screen information was available to the crew. Sounds like they had at least some, presumably from the unaffected busses. If the ESS busses were affected by an electrical fire, could the EECs have been receiving errant signals which led to governor runaway?
What a horrible event. Hats off to the crew for getting it down.
