Deep Stall

Deep stall accidents commonly include flameouts and atypically low airspeeds. There is a possibility these low airspeeds triggered "pitot failure" messages.

The underlying idea behind rough air penetration speeds is that you will stall before the airframe breaks. Perhaps we have seen a stall that was unrecoverable in the circumstances.
