No one seems to have taken into account that the Pilot may have been taken ill? He could have had a blackout or a sudden heart attack.Have the PM's been done yet?
Even if the pilot had been incapacitated, the rotors wouldn't stop. It's pretty hard to think of ANY scenario in which the rotors would stop turning in that short a time, even if you wanted them to.
