Re: Loose neutral.
Here is another example of a loose neutral. Notice the lug is backed out further than the rest and the wire is burned. This would never trip the breaker because it only heats up at the loose connection, not at the breaker - scary to think this could happen at any junction box or splice with a loose connection and not trip a breaker. Maybe an AFCI would trip this condition, I don't know.
