SASless,

Please understand that I'm not casting any aspersions on the pilots. The circumstances were grim, and their options were extremely limited.

I only asked the previous question to see if there was anything useful that could be learned from the accident, and to see if perhaps there was any way out for the flight crew that others could benefit from.

BTW, the helo yawed the first 90 degrees somewhere between 2 and 3 seconds after the event started. The second 90 degrees took about 2 seconds, then the next 180 degrees took another 2 seconds. It was a rapidly accelerating yaw until about the second impact when the MR also hit the flight deck.
