Gordy: "Where's the autopsy report" you talk of. If you look at yourvideo in post #1, at minute 3:38, they notice blood on the door, as Aesir states in his post, too.
Thanks for the calcs- I was thinking about that this morning, on the train - 5G, not enough to kill you for a short period perhaps, but that - sustained and in persons of their age - and if it is proven - hitting the cockpit - almost certainly led to their incapacity preventing the driver from lowering the lever fully.
Do you know what is the strangest thing to come out of this? He lost control of a dynamically unstable vehicle, falling off a raised (moving?)platform causing the fragile undercarriage to collapse underneath him and STILL, the damn helo remained upright - allowing the rotors to spin. Who would have forecast the chances of the helo remaining upright, especially as it continues to beat the living daylight out of the underbelly of the a/c. In most other cases - surely the cab would have almost immediately rolled over onto its side and the rotors would have stopped instantaneously, thus stopping the sustained spin and possibly keeping both alive.
