Generally to others not in the know and especially the desparate media hounds - by the time the EC135 runs out of fuel, over the previous 30 minutes there would be 3 amber warning lights, 2 red warning lights with audio, 2 loudly complaining police air observers and number 2 engine will quit about 2 minutes before number 1 - that's the way the system is designed.
Exactly, and it would still be capable of autorotation.
The fly in the ointment in this whole thing is the Sun's editor's statement saying it came down with blades not turning and falling like a stone, in which case I'd have expected 3 tonnes of 135 to have gone straight through the roof in one go.
But an auto followed by a 7-8ft drop into a pub, I expected the crew to be walking wounded at worst.
Very sad all round. Hopefully we'll get more clues as the aircraft is removed from the building, hopefully today or tomorrow.
