I know nothing about helicopters, but can't you autorotate down and increase your chances of not dying in a situation like this? I thought that's what they were doing before they pitched forward and immediately died.

OK helicopter nerds, destroy me.

I also know nothing about helicopters but I bet the answer is "yes... If you know how" with a follow up of "and they did not"

Yup, to be fair it is entirely possible the damaged part made maintaining the proper descent impossible.
