What about an airspeed indicator — isn’t that an instrument?

Yes, but I do not think it would be an issue in this situation. It would be more critical in IFR conditions. That plane most likely has two airspeed indicators, as well as stall alarms.
I am sure there are some commercial airline pilots on FR that
would be far more qualified to comment on this crash.
I just do not know why he apparently touched down at the very end of the runway in VFR conditions.
