Was it supposed to have them? The article doesn't say it was, so I take it this is normal, in which case it's not really newsworthy.

According to this thread, it's not required for smaller aircraft:
If the aircraft is below 12500 pounds, and has less than 10 passenger seat, and not be certified to require more than 1 pilot, it does not require recorders.
I guess it will take time to do a proper investigation of the materials like the blades to see if there was a failure there, and where. Someone by now has seen something though and has a theory, they just can't talk yet. There was low fuel mentioned, but running out of fuel doesn't separate rotors from the hub.
The rotor didn't separate from the hub, the transmission and mast and rotor separated from the helicopter, suddenly and seemingly without warning based on the available video.
Okay, I just saw the one where the rotors were flying apart, I guess after the fact.
