Rose land, I totally agree but I would suggest that the engines were chopped rather than quit. However, that doesn't get away from the most mysterious of mysteries in this incident ....
"
Preliminary examination showed that all main rotor blades were attached at the time of the impact but that neither the main rotor nor the fenestron tail rotor were rotating."
Of all the videos I've trawled through recently, all the various to the ground autos completed in the past, all the times I've seen someone pull max pitch to slow the blades down that little bit quicker and how I've watched the blades sail past when shutting down with the assistance of the rotor brake .... this blades not rotating really puzzles me.
Unless it all just happened to happen all just in time to impact upright as it did. I really wonder how close they were to pulling it off
