AA flight 1051 MD-80 Horizontal Stab jammed on ORD-AUS flight today...
Best possible outcome - a safe landing.. My wife emailed & texted me in terror this afternoon. Pilot informed passengers of malfunction. Passengers prepped for emergency landing, flight circled for fuel burn. Thank you pilot and crew! AMR - please keenly maintain and inspect your aircraft especially with all the business distractions right now. Please accelerate the retirement of your aging fleet.

No..the poorly lubricated jack screw was what caused the Alaska MD-80 top crash..
The United and USAir 737 rudder hard over were caused theoretically by a jammed servo push/pull rod that is used to make rudder deflections one way or the the other...

Pitch trim run-a-way and jammed stabilizer are part of your flight sim training. Good checklist and CRM procedures are nessasary in the cockpit. Part 25 certified aircraft can fly with these malfunctions. A well trained crew can deal with it.
