The two-bladed main rotor can, with strong inputs to the cyclic, get to a position where the main rotor literally cuts through the tail. The main rotor then separating from the shaft.
Not what happened in this accident, however, as is apparent from the video and photos already released.

"Sounds like" main rotor impacted tail, breaking it off.
C'mon, there's video and photographic evidence showing that was not what happened. And, earlier in this thread, there is a video from a highly respected pilot and aviation youtuber pointing to some of that evidence and explaining what happened (which, as I said, can be seen from a careful examination of available video).

Did you even look at this material before deciding what caused the accident?

Yes, I've looked, and I am reciting what I saw two other professional pilots discuss as the possible cause.

Perhaps an issue with aftermarket rotor blades. Again no evidence of rotor contacting the tail boom

Rumor has it, a receipt from TEMU for new rotor blades was found amongst the wreckage... smoking gun?

Re: NEW YORK | Helicopter Loses Rotors and Crashes into Hudson River — 6 Dead

I went on the same helicopter company back in 2016 and the door was flapping a lot, we went around the Statue of Liberty etc etc I was terrified and the pilot wanted to do a roller coaster type ride, but I beg him not to, I have videos of the ride too, I feel so bad for them especially the babies
