G0ULI, I am an EC225 driver and looking at those pictures and the pattern that the debris landed shows that thing separated very dynamically and i would suggest that a heavy lump of metal hitting a rock from 2000' would smash. This would account for the damage to all the gears we see.
I would be very happy to go flying tomorrow in the 225. I have flown many types and i have never been in a helicopter that can take full fuel and pax. The aircraft is very well designed and I hope that she remains flying.
