Several posters referring to keyboard warriors as in suggesting that nobody could have survived an instrument failure and everybody would have died in the same scenario.
This scenario has been along for year: One side goes to
, look at the 2 other attitude instruments and compare. Then fly.
Had it happened at night over South America in a B-767.
The secret to survival in this business is to learn from other's mistakes, not just your own. Many similar accidents have happened in the past, hence quite a few companies practice this in the simulator as well as unusual attitude recovery.
It can be confusing, but that is what we train for and get paid for, the good, the bad and the ugly.
This malfunction was very survivable: Compare instruments, rignt side is good: "you got it, you fly it".
