Report I read said it may have been a thermal anomaly and not mechanical failure that brought it down.

The pilot was to close to the retaining wall on landing, the tail boom struck the wall and snapped off. Everyone got out and proceeded with the mission. Unfortunately the tail boom ended up on the wrong side of the wall.

From everything I’ve read, it wasn’t a mechanical that brought the helo down. The landing area was very confined so the helicopter essentially stalled out in its own ground effects because of the walls.

It was the WH version of events stating there was a mechanical failure.
Pakistanis say the rotor hit the wall as it was entering the compound.
