You know what they say. Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing.

According to BBC news Sikorsky grounds the S-92 helicopters for safety checks after the incident.

Apparently, Lockheed Martin (owners of Sikorski) now believe that there was a fault in the tail rotor pitch control shaft, leading to an uncontrollable tailrotor; the PCS has to be taken off from the helicopter to be examined:
