Winch control
Maybe the a/c ended up 30 deg nose down on initial impact, maybe it didn't
Maybe an emergency call was put out by some means, maybe it wasn't.
Maybe there was no fuel onboard, maybe there was.
Maybe all the blades were intact, maybe they were not.
Maybe the roof collapsed on impact, maybe it did not.
Maybe there was a catastrophic failure of a component, maybe there was not.
Maybe an environmental aspect affected the a/c, maybe it didn't.
Maybe the a/c flew into the ground due to pilot error, maybe not.

The list goes on…..

Ok, I'll put a fiver on each of the following;
Neither of the TFO's putting out a call (it's already been said that the pilot didn't)
It was fuel being drained immediately after the extraction (as seen on tv)
The blades were intact. (although the front 2 were a bit worse for wear)
The roof collapsing was because of the impact. (I don't think it was the band)
There was a catastrophic failure of a component
There wasn't an environmental factor
There wasn't a pilot error issue

Will you match me by saying the opposite?
