[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1238913, member: 18945"] Unless they inadvertently flew into trees, limbs or anther object, it may take awhile to determine----------assuming of course the surviving crew member is unable to shed more light on the accident. It is often very difficult to judge the distance from rotating rotor tips to an object. Helos, even with total engine loss, can autorotate to a survivable landing IF they still have forward air speed and several hundred feet of altitude (how much altitude required is dependent on type helo and how heavily it is loaded).
