In the case I have details on, I don't think the TR blades were recovered. They are certainly not attached to the boom. My point is that the blade actually can reach the fin, and therefore the absence of strikes (and together with your observation that the rotor blades are intact) it is unlikely that this failure was blade related unless it was an extremely rapid loss of the plane of rotation. Unlikely.
