What I found even more interesting was that the glass mirror part of the
tool was completely gone. Missing. I agree that if the tool had gotten
itself jammed into the mechanisms that it is entirely possible for the
mirror to have been shattered. But they didn't find a TRACE of glass. I
suppose it could have popped out whole and then departed the airframe.

John was using an inspection mirror during the repairs he was
doing.Witnesses
reported him using it to see into the boom area by the rear control stick
access. The NTSB said they weren't able to simulate a jam up .I bought the
identical mirror and on an undamaged aircraft was able to simulate a jam
up.
The mirror is not part of the equiptment and was found in the wreckage.

See ya
