It appears that the most likely explanation is a lack of visual awareness and loss of comms to instruct where to go. I've never flown a helo, but read another helo guy talk about the 11 min of turning in circles as a possible cause for pilot vertigo, combined with a lack of visual awareness, as a possible answer to the crash. How does that line up with the flight radar showing the dip in altitude, then what appears to be a struggle to go up very fast? Would that be a possible explanation?

Also, NSTB said today that the rotor was on another side of the hill. Fuselage in one area, and tail section 100 yards away IIRC. So it was hard to discern whether this was a result of one part (possibly the tail section or fuselage) hitting the hill, then dispersing in different directions, or if there was a sudden loss of the rotors.

Whoa. Weird. First he claims that he's lived there 50 years and knows the canyons, (so much so he can direct 911 where to go exactly) then points to a condo dude who's lived there for 17 years who claims he has never seen cloud/fog cover that low. Why wouldn't he have said he's never seen it that low if he's been there 50 years? "Rotor flush"? Man, sounds rehearsed.

I'm asking if the speed was bc he realized he fucked up and was trying to climb out of it?
