As Churchill said in similar circumstances "a stall between two fools"
"The BEA's final report, released at a news conference on 5 July
2012,[4][5] concluded that the aircraft crashed after temporary inconsistencies between the airspeed measurements ? likely due to the aircraft's pitot tubes being obstructed by ice crystals ? caused the autopilot to disconnect, after which the crew reacted incorrectly and ultimately caused the aircraft to enter an aerodynamic stall from which it did not recover."A great many air accidents are due to relying on faulty instruments.
Even when two others are saying the correct thing, people get fixated on the wrong one.
