I read a report that said the pilot dumped the fuel before impact, Toky - assuming that's true or surely there would have been a fire and many more fatalities I'm sure.  :(

I think you'll find he had just enough time to switch-off the fuel supply to the engines. He certainly wouldn't have had time to dump the fuel if indeed it was even possible to do so from that particular model of helicopter.
