Please enlighten us on how this report could not possibly have been as it appears to be--factual.You don't "set" the controls on a helicopter into a 20-degree dive.
This thing looks like a sea story that hornswoggled an ignorant member of the press...

Holding the controls in your hands in a manner designed to implement such a descent
could easily, IN ENGLISH have been described have having
'set' the controls.
I expected the rest of your assessment.

Yup. The scary thing is, we have trusted idiots with reporting what goes on in the world...
