As far as what I've seen on the news the R44 appears to have hit the top of a building with the MR blades shortly during liftoff (the structure was shredded horizontally), subsequently rolled and caught fire.
There's a lot of speculation going on right now about the operator non possessing the AOC, but of course there's an investigation already under way.
