What happened the 330? Am i correct in saying thats the tail and tail rotor gearbox in the photo or the whole ship?
I didn’t see it burn but the story was – it had landed on a river-side wooden helipad for a running re-fuel. See the fuel drums. Two pilots on board. At some point it ‘twitched’ and both pilots went for the rudder pedals. The result – it rolled off the helipad onto the fuel drums. No one hurt.

The mess you see on top of the fuel drums is the main gear box and engines. Probably lying at the bottom of the Batang Hari river.
