It shows the speed graph, look harder. You can also click it to get a bigger picture. MAGIC!

And a transcript from a simulator session is basically irrelevant to the actual Ethiopian Airlines flight. 340 knots is already 90 knots over maximum flying speed for that altitude, OF COURSE trims are very difficult or even impossible to adjust. The plane was not designed to fly in extreme overspeed conditions. Mentour Pilot proved that, didn't he. Now reflect an additional 160 knots airspeed over the speed where Mentour Pilot couldn't adjust trim and reflect on the consequences of letting the plane get that far outside its rated flight envelope.

The VMO of a 737MAX is 340kts, I think? Sorry, that's over 10,000ft. Is that ASL?
EDIT: I can upload and link you the video, Rockin Robbins if you wish.
