Incidents
In Commercial and Airline operations there are legally mandated procedures that must be followed should an EGPWS caution or warning occur. Both pilots must respond and act accordingly once the alert has been issued. An Indonesian captain has been charged with manslaughter for not adhering to these procedures.
The other sample of incident of plane with EGPWS/TAWS is 2010 Polish Air Force Tu-154 crash where all 96 people onboard (including then President of Republic of Poland) died.

“An element of exaggeration clings to the popular judgment: great vices are made greater, great virtues greater also; interesting incidents are made more interesting, softer legends more soft.”
—Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
