Excellent post mortem. Can't imagine the terror of having aileron hinge reversal - even if not violently as here. How very sad that so many incidents had to happen before there was some effective remediation, such as the removal of the flap overspeed lockout, additional annunciators, enhanced disclosure, etc.
