I remember that also. The pics we saw of the incident aircraft were pretty impressive as well. As I recall, once the ASB and AD were released they found several others with loose hardware on the servo web. None of ours were loose but it became a focal point from then on. The prevailing theory at the time was at rest, the web was kept in its proper place so nothing appeared out of the ordinary. However, once flying things would loosen up and move around. Still amazes me today they got down in one piece.
