Unless there is a post deleted, it looked exactly as if AdLib was responding to you and Sandiego89. Both of you making valid observations and looking for support to confirm them, but not actually stating any cause!

Interesting that the left prop is missing two blades. Wonder if they came off before, during or after during recovery. None of the other blades appear to have any damage
