The controls got all f-ed up when he hit the ground nose first. This
is not speculation. He pulled up to hard. The rope broke because he
pulled up too hard. He was too nose high and too low to recover. He
had no chance of recovering in that scenario. I wonder if we will
ever be able to see the footage from the hilocopter. All the rest of
the stories are just a guess or an attempt to cover their asses. I
have this info from a Wittness who was there. Or maybe I am wrong? I
hope we get to see and use the video to save lives eventually....
