I caught that too, but decided to stay stealth. Readers Digest had an article about it YEARS ago. The cause I beleive was mechanical involving a pin or such for the elevator in the #1's plane. I have no idea where the final report laid the cause (maintenance, structural failure, piolet error. etc.). Oh to be so recent, mean I'd be around 35-40. I could handle that!

I think they laid it on a nut or other FOD left inside the cockpit which fouled the control linkages.
