So it might be. Or then again, possibly not.

The circumstances are most unusual, possibly unprecedented. Certainly I know of no similar RW accident on a twin engined helicopter and I've been flying helicopters for a living for thirty five years.

The point is, there was fuel in the aircraft, that has been proven beyond doubt. although a relatively small quantity, it would normally have been enough to make a safe landing with. Not a stopped rotor "arrival", as this evidently was.
