I have heard of a similar incident where the pilot experienced a sudden jolt and severe shaking with both pedals going to the floor.
Well if BOTH pedals "go to the floor", then you're talking about a mech failure in the pitch control of the TR. Given that the pedals are linked - when one is forward the other is aft - it would take a catastrophic failure of the linkage to cause both pedals to go forward at once.
