I don't buy high-hover then VRS. That would mean the engines are operating and the rotor would be at full speed at impact. Upon impact, and you can see the effect of that on the structure, the blades would have contacted parts of the machine / the ground, shattered, and fragments would have flown for a considerable distance.


The condition now of the rotors suggest to me a very low energy state at the time of impact.
