There was a 727 that crashed because of iced over pitot tubes.

I remember reading about that... Didn't the cockpit recorder reveal the
crew going crazy trying to figure out what was going on?


Well, it was all over very quickly IIRC. I think the flight was a test
flight after some heavy maintenance. The airspeed went to max wehn they
iced over during the climb and the handling pilot pulled and stalled the
airplane. The disorientation would have built rapidly.
