Police helicopter crashes onto Glasgow pub

A former army air corps pilot and now colleague was trying to explain rotor droop / mushing to me today. I understand this is effectively a quasi stall where caused by rapid aft cyclic input perhaps while executing a tight turn or pulling out of a dive. I understand this can result in a rapid loss of height with ineffective control. Can anyone enlighten me further as I am not sure if there is any relevance in this case?
