A portion of thread from different news grope:

loss of a 757 a few years ago in which clogged pitot tubes
caused bad overspeed warnings; the Turkish crew pulled
back the power and stalled and crashed. It was later determined
that the A/C had sat for a month and insects had gotten into
uncovered pitot tubes.

With aircraft equipped with GPS that shows your true speed, can you fly by
it when pitot tube is down?

The Captain's static port on the 757 had duct tape over it. The FO side was
working just fine, so there was not much excuse for crashing.
