If the chandelier was really suspended from said bolt, then the scenario described

Even the dimmest BOAC flight engineer would have twigged if, as soon as the nut started being backed off, the bolt was clearly being pulled down into the hole. To then carry on removing the nut would seem to be a rather imprudent thing to do.
Or maybe the bolt stayed put and only disappeared after the nut had been completely removed, a bit like Wile E Coyote only plummeting to earth after he has looked down and realised that he's no longer standing on the cliff edge?
