GPWS (pre EGPWS) -

After making a crossing restriction the midnight crew accelerated for a high speed climb. GPWS - Terr....Pull... Both radar altimeters flash to below 200' and just as quickly the radar altimeters go away. So the crew thinks they've got a maintenance write up.

That morning the FO starts looking at terrain maps ... "And that's when I started shaking..."
