I don't believe that the after action report of a single instance of a

The same thing happened in Lexington, Ky. Only that time the shut did
not work but the pilot was able to recover after he broke out of a low
cloud cover an land in a field.

If you have been following the COPA web site you will see a history of
a high rate of individual instrument failures so sooner or later
multiple failures are bound to occur.
