Correct report for the video N119RX

The ones that bother reading the report, can read:
He lowered
the collective control and noticed engine and rotor rpm had decreased to 96 percent, activating the
LOW ROTOR RPM warnings. He realized he was too low to attempt an autorotation. He reduced
collective and pitch attitude further. RPM drooped to 90 percent and stabilized. Approximately 20
to 30 feet above the helipad, the pilot raised the collective control to flare for landing. RPM
rapidly deteriorated. The aircraft impacted the helipad in a tail-down position, rolled over, and
came to rest on its left side. The entire accident was captured on videotape.

Should remove any doubt to IF it's the right accident, UNLESS this is a normal occurence!!! (A119, AT a Hostpital heli-pad, hitting tail first, rolling to the left, AND on tape!!)
