There is some pilot on youtube that went through the radio transcript that was released. IIRC there were 8 warnings, all automated I think.
Some guy by the name of Captain Steeeve:

At 1000’ elevation they got a warning because the plane wasn’t configured the correct way (stuff like speed, wing flap positions, etc.)
Then more warnings 15 seconds later, 25 seconds later, etc. Each warning they were supposed to pull up and fly around and get back into the landing pattern. The youtube guy said those automated warnings are mandatory to go around - not just a “hey, you’re a little too fast - just wanted to let you know”.
Yeah, as a former aircraft maintenance guy in the Air Force with an interest in aviation, I watch Capt. Steeeve all the time. He’s the best.
The pilots f-ed up big time and 5 people (at least) paid with their lives. Sigh.
