The arm falling off is from CNN's headline: Pilot's false arm falls off as he lands passenger plane

Nice going CNN. The report said it detached from the yoke clamp. Not sure if the yoke clamp IS the hand or if there is another 'hand' but clearly the arm didn't fall off. It was some sort of mechanical failure between the clamp and arm.
