The one in the picture is in pretty good shape. It is just a retaining bolt. It is not holding the torque of the tail rotor, just preventing it/them (some helicopters have multiple paddles) from backing off the tail rotor drive shaft. The teeth on the nut are to prevent the jesus nut itself from backing off its bolt.
JFC, a 4.6 isn't shit. Did anyone even feel it? I got some low 6.x's a couple of times in SoCal and they were barely anything. Just enough to go, "Hey, I think this is an earthquake." Fucking doomsday fish... God the NY Post is trash.
Jesus, this story made me feel so fucking gross. So fucking disgusting what they were trying to do.
