I find it difficult tp believe that in CAVOK conditions, a modern airliner crashes just because the instrumentation is screwy. They are fitted with perfectly good windows, if the engines are making power (and from the rate of climb it managed, they appeared to be) then power and attitude is all you need, even a low hour PPL can manage to fly around using the throttle and the view out of the window as their only reference. It's not exactly hard is it?
Something surely must have failed or fallen off ... nothing else makes much sense.
