That simulator sequence at the beginning was interesting to see. If that wasn't a stab trim runaway I don’t know what is. Uncommanded pitching of the nose (down in this case) and spinning of the trim wheel. someone hand flying that aircraft couldn’t miss that or mistake that as not being a textbook stab trim runaway.

Interesting too that arm strength with continuous trim recovers that aircraft. That would be an opportune time to hit the stab trim cutout switches.
