Just like to add my wholehearted agreement with Hummingfrog. Conversation about an accident is one thing but as has already been mentioned speculation without all the facts is undisirable and can be upsetting to friends and family.
If the weather was bad,could be a case fo pressonitis.
Airspeed back to nothing, hugging the ground,trying to get over that hill.
lost visual reference,low and slow,intruments no use, tail rotor or main rotor hit the hard stuff, game over!
Pure speculation on my part, but that's all we can come up with from some photos.
Could be the case, amongst others, previously mentioned.
This from a previous accident where those speculating know not what occured.

I would also add that the Captain of the 365 was a very experienced and professional Guy and will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
And "that there but for the grace of God"
