Breathe deeply Silsoe - you're in runaway up again

I notice there are still people out there who continue to believe in the tail rotor fault and its associated effects w.r.t. flight paths...........

IF the direction of this investigation is allegedly veering towards fuel problems, I am already struggling to understand how even a double flame out can render the rotors stationary within a matter of seconds - not even minutes??? The pilot would have had to have retained considerable pitch for this to happen -and that, simply is not going to happen - it's ingrained in a pilots DNA to lower the lever when the donk(s) stops.
