...of niet natuurlijk, nadat de piloot heel veel geluk verbruikt heeft...
The pilot reported that after takeoff, about three miles away from the airport, he heard a loud noise above and behind him.
He elected to return to the airport, during which, he heard the noise a second time.
Upon arriving in the vicinity of the airport, the helicopter descended to a hover about four feet above the ground.
Suddenly, the helicopter fell to the ground and the pilot observed the main rotor head and rotor blades spinning about 400-500 feet in the air above him.
The blades descended to the ground and came to rest about 300 feet from the helicopter.
