Splot: You omitted the earlier ones which show the sequencing: spot turn commencing and the rear right hand skid blade digging in. As the images are stills, no idea what the rate of turn was.
The photos you posted make it look like there's a down-slope towards the crowd line. More difficult to see on the earlier photos in sequence, so may be lens distortion; but if aircraft was pointing downslope when the skid balde dug in, the slope would not have been in the pilot's favour!
