hharney is on a distinguished road
Nothing other than several articles on-line. They indicated that he lost power and contacted ATC and they said that there was an airport not too far from his position. Apparently he could not make the airport and decided to do his best to set it down where he could. Looks like he did a good job for the circumstances. The one photo shows the rear blades are feathered. It would look as though he shut that the rear down first. Not sure other than that.
