oh, by the way

if you have hydraulic operated controls, that DOES NOT MEAN you couldn't have YOKE malfunction and the cables, pulleys et all could still manipulate the hydraulic portion of the controls...and the instinctive yoke breakaway could hep you alot (instinctive means, in this cas3e...hey the yoke is jammed...I better put every ounce of force my arms can muster and BAM, ok my control yoke has unjammed and a PORTION of the flight controls can be controlled by me...and a safe landing just might be possible)
