It was 10 years ago the A320 with 3 sensors had 2 freeze due to maintenance, the software selected those 2 to use neglecting the third working AOA sensor because it differed, put the plane into a stall preventing dive at an altitude from which the crew could not recover before plunging into the Med. darn Boeing copying AB.
Not really. The crew put that aircraft into a stall after they failed to apply basic aeronautical techniques for stall recovery.
Big difference between that and an aircraft pitching uncontrollably nose down at low altitudes.
