That 47 accident was nearly 40 years ago. Jim was a very capable ex air force pilot & died along with his 2 passengers.
The problem was the tr pitch change link broke due to faulty manufacturer. The blade rotated & flew off causing a massive out of balance problem which in turn caused the other blade & gear box to fall into the harbour. The fallen items weighed 32 lbs at the very end of the boom which put the forward c of g some 12 inches minimum out of limits. This made the 47 unflyable, regardless of what Jim tried to do & we do not know what he tried; that is pure speculation. The 47 clipped the AMP building & landed hard on the Goldfields building ending up in an empty office, being a Saturday morning, & not in the road. Jim was cleared totally at the subsequent court cases.
I am brave enough to disagree somewhat with Nick in that I think all emergencies should be demonstrated & practised as per the flight manual. Yes CFIT is No1 but why not practise No2, No3, etc as well. I'm sure most pilots would prefer to make a soft comfy landing after a failure or pilot stuff up than to risk injury by smashing the machine when a little correct training could maybe have prevented the hard bump.
