What are you guys talking about?

Twin torque gauge on the S76. Each engine puts in its share of the torque. If both engines are at 100% torque the tranny will effectively be getting about 200. I think you can get to 100 torque on each engine before it starts to droop RPM, then up to a max of 115% if you droop it down past 101% NR. Are you saying that each engine's torque went to 180 or 186%? That would mean the tranny was twisting almost 400% or double what it's meant for. That's impossible, I don't think it would have stayed bolted to the roof!

On the other hand, if the blades are all bent up and the spindles blown out, then maybe something impossible did happen. Like flying the whole shaking mess back to the beach

Let's see the "aliens have landed" pictures.
