most of my knowledge about the air france flight came from a air crash series on youtube.
That situation has bitten many pilots. When the pitot tube on the front and the static port on the side get obstructed, the air gets trapped inside and makes the airspeed indicator act like an altimeter. The higher you go, the more speed the AS indicator shows. There was an empty Evergreen 747 with a crew of three that stalled it and spun it in with the same situation. A spinning 747 would have been an eye watering sight.

West Caribbean flight crashed in Venezuela (MD-82) when the crew in an overloaded plane stalled, reacted wrongly and crashed. Crew thought the engines flamed out, but the plane couldn't operate at that load, at the altitude they would normally fly.
That would be an awful way to go, plummeting from cruising altitude.
