One propeller blade exhibited a 5-inch tip separation and the separated tip sections were recovered from 100 ft and 700 ft from the main wreckage. The No. 4 engine was recovered from the deice building. All three propeller blades on the No. 4 engine appeared in the feather position.
It looks like they feathered both 3 and 4. Maybe 3 started to run rough too, maybe inadvertent, going to be hard to ascertain without CVR, unless the "loadmaster" knows what happened...
