It may be the old technology ?

It may have been mentioned in the hearing, I was unable to listen in its entirety.
Wow, if this is true it would be very enlightening. In my opinion - and I am absolutely NOT an expert, I think EGPWS would have issued a more than adequate warning about the impending danger. If UPS did not pay the extra $$ for EPGWS and it's found that EPGWS would have saved the crew - heads should roll. I do find it hard to believe that the FARs would allow an A-300 to fly without an Enhanced GPWS though.
