The confusion amongst the Birgenair pilots was exacerbated by contradictory warnings (overspeed plus stick-shaker). Even if they had successfully recovered (using sensible pitch/thrust settings) they would have had to contend with the distraction of continued overspeed warnings. It's worth knowing which CBs to pull in the event of false overspeed or stick-shaker warnings so this distraction can be removed.

For the B757/767 the CBs are:
AURAL WARNING: B16 & H35
STICK SHAKER: C11 & J21
