AF447 is fascinating for other reasons as well - on Airbus it is possible for two pilots to provide directly opposite control inputs because there is no mechanical linkage between the sidesticks, unlike on yokes in most other airplanes. It does produce a warning (dual input) but it is not tactile - you cannot feel what the other crew member is doing.

A pretty extreme UX issue.
