One comment reported that the helicopter suffered an electrical fire and loss off essential bus (EECs high sided, MR and engine overspeed) while enroute. The crew also had problems with flight controls. At 6000 feet and 185 and couldn't stop it with full down collective. The crew controlled the aircraft by cycling between idle and fly on engine mode switches. Took 3 laps of airport until able to figure out "how to put it down". Killed engines at 200 feet 140 knots on final, high speed flare /auto and dumped it. Collapsed gear, running on belly. Slid into grass.
