"More generally, Jesus nut (or Jesus pin) is used to refer to any component that is a single point of failure and whose breakdown would result in catastrophic consequences, the suggestion being that in such case the only thing left to do would be to pray to Jesus, or that the component's importance could be likened to the importance of Jesus to Christianity."
Additionally the way the media is phrasing it. I am researching to see if that phrase is used in other places not pertaining to helicopters. To see if THAT piece being faulty could be a message if someone did sabotage it.
