It hit the ground so hard the freakin main gear is wiped off!
the latest photo failure point seems to coincide with where the main rotor might impact the boom.
From what I am hearing, the training captain (with two students) aborted the first flight of the day due to some sort of handling problem and he just let it go down like a stone, causing the main blades flex enough to chop the tail. Is it true the TC only had 200 hours on type? The ground clearance of an AW139 is not that much, and the pic of the lonely tail rotor has a grounded helicopter behind, consistent with a very heavy landing and the u/c being pushed up into the fuselage which then ends up sitting on the tarmac.
