The B-2 crash => See? With failing sensors there simply is NO TIME.
The X-31 crash => (Where pitot anti-ice was not connected) => The plane goes out of control SO FAST, the only way out is to eject.

When given false information from failing sensors, (and not knowing it) or the failure codes redraw so fast on screen that you simply can not keep track of all of them => It is game over.
You will probably find a lot of things to learn and appreciate in this video of the AeroPeru crash due to Pitot-static port blockage.
