DOVES you seem to be positioning yourself in the "it'll never happen to me" camp. Well I sincerely hope it won't happen to you....!
From what I read between the lines, of course there was a failure to follow SOP's with regards to the published response to the GPWS warning, but if it was a gin clear day and the crews response was safe and they continued the approach with situational awareness completely intact, then it might be said that airmanship prevailed. I'm sure that if the crew were in IMC and approaching an unfamiliar airfield then their response would have been entirely different!
