What?Are you real? Tell me you are a troll.
Well I guess I didn't explain clearly enough. Everyone here knows in a GPWS warning the recovery must be immediate and instinctive, unless the aircraft is in VMC. Ignore that and you can get yourself into trouble. Now with TAWS, do you really think the crew should ignore the terrain warnings while flying in IMC in a non precision approach into a relatively unfamiliar airport simply because the airport isn't in the database? I'm thinking the warnings (which they didn't silence) distracted the crew enough to be a factor of them busting the MDA.

What they should do is go around immediately once the TAWS warnings sound and try again, or divert. Or perhaps I'm just a troll.
