@LTVdeli That is correct. I am a medic and i am out flying with Norwegian air ambulance every day. Anybody knows what happened to the people inside?

Sure looked like settling with power to me.

Settling with power.

I'm a major flight simmer i'll admit, but i've also taken the time to study "Principles of Helicopter Flight" and have a very good idea of how helicopters work and fly..Went to pull pitch and didn't have the power to maintain a safe rotor RPM due to mechanical failure.

You flight simmers don't know what you're talking about. He had a failure and even with a single engine failure was too low to recover and you cant hover with a single engine failure. When you auto with large aircraft your whole descent you're between 20 to 25 degrees before the flare. He did a great job, the point of auto rotating isn't to save the helicopter it's to save the people. The helicopter usually gets fucked up.

seems that the pilot had a low rotor RPM situation

TOOOOOO HOT!
I love it how a bunch of computer wankers automatically think they have pilot's licenses and try to act like a bunch of know-it-alls on YouTube.

Since I had to search and the report's URL is kinda hard to find, search on the NTSB site for the heli's tail number, N119RX. It's an Agusta 109 with about 40 hours service time. Accident happened due to some misrigging, and the pilot did a remarkable job. Three minor injuries was all that happened. Thumbs up for that guy!
