Interesting. If you have a GPWS warning and ground contact is a factor, it is procedure to climb at stick shaker threshold until you are out of danger. The aircraft would still need the capability to do that. Too much we don't know about this system.

Yes you would think a GPWS should be able to over ride something like an auto trim, however it could be the vertical velocity and ground proximity were so high and so close there was not time for an effectrive recovery. I wanna see what those blk boxes have to say for sure.
