Sorry, thread drift.
Yah it was pancaked from a downwind approach and running out of power. The crewman thy was on board for that accident, was only just back at work from an accident where he was on the hoist cable which was run into the superstructure of a vessel during a winch and he took a pretty big hit on the deck.
