where are all the egpws stories?

[GravityHater]

It occurred to me I have read a lot of stories about how radar or onboard nexrad has helped pilots avoid terrible weather, how windshear alerts have helped prevent those accidents, how other electronic devices have kept others alive but I cannot recall a single story about how the GPSW saved anyone. "there we were, blissfully blasting towards a mountaintop and the thing started squawking so we climbed...looking back at it we were off course........"
Are they (the accounts) out there? Or is the system not all they hoped?

go to the Honeywell website, many documented saves.

I will but biased sites (ie the BRS site with all its 'saves') has always put me off a little.

There we were, upside down heading towards a mountain, "pull up, pull up" So I did, unfortunately for us we were upside down.

Try a search of NASA's Callback. I would imagine you'll get some hits.

I imagine that his post was meant as flame bait, I mean come on to suggest that the terrain warning system has never saved anyone is stupid.

Even at 45,000ft during cruise "Terrain Terrain, Pull Up!" is scarey as hell when I goes off in error!

Review my post, I did not suggest any such thing. I asked a question. Please pay attention and only post relevant, useful answers!
here, a simple punctuation review:
? = question mark, and means the person writing said question mark does not know, and seeks input or answers.
If a poster says, "I suggest....." -- THEN they are, in fact, "suggesting". Lesson over. Recess time.

Is there a way to find out if a EGPWS alarm activated on a flight that happened days ago?

Or the only ones are recorded in the black box (if any), during the last 30 minutes of the last flight that plane made?

The Honeywell EGPWS stores lots of data and the last 100 warnings or so, including Bank Angle !!!
