how to handle TR failure in flt(MI-24) helicopter

Hi mates,
I am putting a question for that I think Russian veterants from Afghan war would have much to contribute.
I heard one Mi 24 helicopter after having a TR drive shaft failure started to rotate violently with speed around 120kmph and crashed (Fallen down)to the ground from 500ft killing all four on board. This rotation with the speed is much controvercial to what I've heard . Can anybody got news or experiences of this kind?
Wish you all happy landings !
