I read a report somewhere that said that the Data Recorder showed that the Air speed reading dropped to Zero before the plane crashed. Now that would be quite a coincidence.

That sounds like a failure to recognize that ground level at Bole airport is actually ~7,600 feet above mean sea level.
“Important note: altitude data reported by ADS-B is the pressure altitude at standard pressure and not the altitude above ground level. This is why some values may be below the ground altitude at Addis Ababa airport. Standard pressure is 1013 hPa, pressure reported at HAAB | ADD at the time of accident was 1029 hPa. Airport elevation is 7625 feet MSL. All altitude data when the aircraft is ‘on ground’ is reported as 0. Airborne altitude values are report as stated above.”
