Holy Cow!

Do modern cockpits have “old fashion” instrument backups? If the computer goes TU and the primary flight instrument computer starts feeding you bad info, can you go back to a artificial horizon guage, vertical speed indicator and a turn and bank indicator?

Sounds to me like the pilots were flying based on faulty data on the flight computer console and since they were IFR they were totally confused.
