From this angle it appears that the rotor blade hits the cable running from the top of the tower to underneath the chopper. As the chopper descends the arc of the cable changes, bringing it closer to the rotor blade. One rotor blade is completely missing, very lucky outcome for the ground crew standing nearby.
