Here's the dramatic version:




Perhaps this incident isn't that far off topic at all. It too starts out with a comparatively benign failure. The PF is fixated on one problem (speed), breaks his scan and misses the plane's attitude, which is starting to roll. The a/p tries to correct for this, and when the PF takes over manual control he's taken by surprise. At this point they're so disoriented that they rather believe all their ADIs to have failed than actually be doing an aileron roll...
