If a blade had failed, wouldn't the helicopter quickly rotate in the opposite direction of rotation to compensate for the release of energy as well as roll due to the sudden change in weight and lift? :hmm:

The Helicopter pitched back (not up) which is what I would expect it to do if the blade came in contact with something on the right side due to the sudden decrease in speed. It would have pitched down (forward) if it had hit on the left side.
