Maybe a hydraulic failure (lost the pressure) ?

Hi everybody,

This week I have uploaded a video of a helicopter crash on my website
(www.dappa.nl/crash.htm). Does anyone have a clue about the failure that
caused this crash? It is definately not an engine failure or a tail rotor
failure, but it still looks like a spectacular decend.

For the sensitive viewers: Nobody got hurt, but the helo is a complete
write
off.

The early reports are loss of tail rotor effectiveness. Look at the
video again. He starts an auto (obviously) and once near the bulidings
he pulls collective and has no tail rotor thrust to correct problem.
Read the NTSB prelims.
