No4,

Well your kinda correct. They did a split S and tore off 2 or 3 slats.

The pilots did lower the flaps just slightly and then pinned it with a clamp or vice grips. To do this they had to pull the breaker for the leading edges. Well, they forgot to tell the FE and when he returned from the bathroom, noticed the breaker out and pushed it back in. BAM, out came the leading edges.

What do you bet them 2 pilots never flew PAX again?
