My thoughts, and reading the wording of the inspection, makes me think that perhaps the safety wasn't there at all or failed, and the nut backed off completely. That of course would remove your pitch control completely

you would still have your T/R drive all the way thru this event, and that would explain the strike damage in the picture we debated earlier.
