Question Chopper Ground Resonance?

A helicopter broke into pieces after touch down, due to some sort of "ground resonance".

Link here (in French):
Un hélicoptère se désintègre littéralement - Yahoo!

Anyone familiar with this phenomenon? Seems there was no defect prior to the event.

Thanks a lot,

Never seen it before, although obviously it's a well documented occurence.
