Oops.

The alarm didn’t activate because the pilots accidentally turned off the system, Anderson concluded.

Oops.
My step father flew C140 transport during Nam and he said at one point they fell asleep and when they woke up were flying at an altitude of 2500 ft. AGL scared the living crap outta them and there wasn't a problem getting back to where they needed to be. The alarm didn't go off....pilot fatigue was a problem during the war.
