Sorry you lost one man. Never, ever, try to change a configuration when a control surface is suspect. On the real stuff if a control surface is not behaving like it should, all the checklists require that nothing else be tried. Leave it all alone and land when possible in the last configuration before the failure.
I agree, screw the flaps screw the landing gear put it on the ground before someone gets hurt.
Been there.
