What was found

AFTER LANDING AND UPON ROLL OUT THE PILOT EXPERIENCED THE NOSE OF THE AIRCRAFT STARTING TO DROP. HE PULLED BACK ON THE YOKE AND THE NOSE CONTINUED TO DROP, AT WHICH TIME THE LEFT AND RIGHT PROPELLERS CONTACTED THE RUNWAY, WHICH CAUSED BOTH ENGINES TO SHUT DOWN. AFTER STOPPING ON THE RUNWAY THE PLANE CAME TO REST ON THE NOSE SECTION AND BOTH PROPELLERS. AFTER THE AIRCRAFT WAS JACKED UP AND REMOVED FROM THE RUNWAY THE SHEARED ROD END WAS NOTED.
