"In the event of an uncommanded horizontal stabilizer trim movement, combined with any of the following
potential effects or indications resulting from an erroneous Angle of Attack (AOA) input, the flight crew
must comply with the Runaway Stabilizer procedure in the Operating Procedures chapter of this manual:
- Continuous or intermittent stick shaker on the affected side only.
- Minimum speed bar (red and black) on the affected side only.
- Increasing nose down control forces.
- IAS DISAGREE alert.
- ALT DISAGREE alert.
- AOA DISAGREE alert (if the option is installed)"
"the high speeds observed" ... "were logical. It’s a consequence of following the Emergency checklist for “IAS disagree” (IAS is Indicated Airspeed, i.e. the dynamic air pressure experienced by the aircraft) after takeoff."
In short, seeing that Boeing indeed wrote about the IAS alert being activated when the sensor fails, and MCAS gets activated, I can only conclude that Boeing indeed knew that the pilots would make the plane uncontrollable if they followed Boeing's instructions. It seems they just gambled on the chance that the second crash won't happen so soon after the first.
Either that, or we'd have to believe that what a single pilot manage to do for his Youtube video a company which is to deliver the planes in worth of hundreds of billions (!) of USD wasn't able to do.
