OK, fair enough - perhaps I should have said "
It's pretty much established from the ATC recordings that a warning was going off during their first, rushed, approach." It still means basically the same thing - they were either ignoring or silencing an audible warning - which would have made it much easier to miss the new warning for landing gear.
