Am I being thick here? The helicopter comes down yawing in the same direction as the rotor blades are spinning. If it was a TR thrust failure, then surely it would result in rapid yaw to the right? This appeared to happen, with initial right yaw but then something else happened to cause the left yaw in the descent.

A steady spin in the opposite direction as the main rotor is not related to VRS, but rather to a TR loss of thrust or loss of control.
Sad loss of life.
