AeroPeru had blocked static ports (and pitot?) - at 3am local. The 757 has Digital Air Data Computers, so breaking glass could not help - there was no static plumbed into the cockpit.

I'm sure they did not know blocked ports were at fault; they were just overwhelmed with nonsensical info and alarms. Recovery would have been luck as much as skill.
