John, radar contact was lost at 900', wasn't it? (NTSB prelim)
First I've heard of 700', or that they had tied any altitude to the Mayday call.
My estimation is that Chris keyed the mic at around 500' but it could have been a bit higher.
Not likely lower, though.

Clamping down on a wire cable through its sheath mashes the individual steel strands against themselves.
The more I ponder this for a primary control cable, the more livid I become.
It's an outrageous and crude idea.
