There was another model of aircraft (I don’t recall which) that crashed several a few decades ago because a pilot would drop a microphone (inadvertently, of course) into a well between the control-yoke-column and the floor, preventing pulling the yoke back to stop a dive.
Ouch.
Not good “failure mode effects and analysis” on that platform.
In the 1930s an early airliner crashed in San Francisco when a microphone cord got tangled up in the yoke.
