The cables must have been damaged and noway it was possible to recover control over BDD, sadly

Yes thats the same crosssection picture thats in the book I looked in. Its pretty clear huh?

Unfortunatly looking at a Mustang cross section picture, that is right were the rudder and elevator cables travel on their way to the tail. Looking at the damage these cables would certainly been effected if not jammed completely. No way you could recover a spin. Quick thinking saved his life.
