Indeed, and another where the external air speed sensor was blocked by an insect nest.
But these instances, along with other similar types, are not what crashed he plane. It was the pilot not responding correctly to the misleading information being given to him.
Modern aircraft have redundancy in virtually every system, and multiple inputs of information that can be consulted.
In today's modern aircraft people think that they can pretty much fly themselves, but ultimately it is the pilot that has to respond if there is any issue.
