When the PF made that remark his PFD was on ADR3 and had no airspeed display. Shortly after that the angle of attack 2 was temporarily valid at 41°, and the stall warning was triggered. That means that ADR2 speed was temporarily greater than 60 kts. His PFD on ADR3 indicated temporarily also above 60 kts. The actual speed was then about 140 kts CAS.
