Crash?! What crash? Stayed the right way up didn't it?

Some fine sensationalist reporting there....

Was this a Heli Inc aircraft?

As it's stayed upright, is it more likely to have been an autorotation?
I'm guessing that if it was powering in, and then snapped the tail off while flaring into the ground, then it would more likely have ended up on it's side.

Is that what Bell's calling a 206 1/2? Or 1/2 206...
