No amount of training can recreate a helicopter crash.
From hearing people's accounts the choppers engine was still running but spluttering and the blades weren't spinning at all. Then it just stopped and was silent.

That is usually consistant with a gearbox failure or malfunction. My dad worked for BALPA and in avaition for years and that was his response as soon as I told him what had happened. He wasn't aware as is abroad just now.
