Dave, you're right, but the overspeed was inseperable from the yaw - it was the "stolen" airstream energy from the yaw that drive the prop into overspeed.

I once wrote a mini-thesis comparing this accident to this EMB-120 accident: remarkably similar initial single-point failures, with assumed "fail-safe" characteristics that had never been fully tested.
