Yup.

Initial failure of Angle of Attack sensor leads to NNC “Airspeed Unreliable.”

Continued motion of Stab Trim leads to NNC “ Runaway Stabilizer.”

Challenging, but doable. Fly thrust and attitude.
But if you leave the autothrottle engaged at T/O thrust , try to re-engage the autopilot AND try to re-engage stab. trim you are screwed.
As a matter of interest , the flight data recordings from the initial Ethiopian report seem to have disappeared from the internet.
Why ?
