Just watched the video clip.

Quite bizarre? Can't fathom out why the helo went hover taxying down the tree lined avenue rather than lifting?? Also looked to a bit downwind.....
What actually happened?.....appeared to yaw rapidly to port at the same time as the tail boom appeared to fold in two?
Did the boom "fail" causing a break in the tail rotor shaft and consequent Yaw/crash?

Can any Finnish speakers translate the news story?

Confused
