Looks like an EN480 turbine. Hit cables on take off, but pilot ok.

Very unfortunate. The power cables look like someone's washing line. I guess that's where 'wire cutters' would have been useful.

Could have been nasty, but Enstrom do claim that their cabin has an integral safety cell, and it seems to have withstood the accident well.
