Gums, if you go back 20 or 40 pages () there is a discussion about the gear up warning. Apparently, above 210 knots, the warning changes from 'Too Low Gear' to the GPWS 'Too Low Terrain' (or words to that affect) based on the assumption that if your going over 210 knots, you're probably not trying to land. Assuming they got the 'Too Low Terrain' warning, it would be somewhat understandable if the pilots dismissed it as a nuisance since they thought they were landing.
I presume similar flight control logic would have come into play (or not come into play) since the gear was up and they were going to fast.
