Narrative:

During ILS runway 5, the GS failed at approximately 2500 ft. The runway was in sight so we continued. At approximately 2000 ft we lost sight of the runway due to scattered clouds, we elected to go around. And while climbing to 4000 ft, passing 3600 ft (MSA 3800 ft) the proximity warning system said 'terrain, terrain, too low, pull up.' the captain assumed control of the aircraft and performed an escape maneuver. We leveled at 5000 ft and completed the next ILS without further incident.

Narrative: DURING ILS RWY 5, THE GS FAILED AT APPROX 2500 FT. THE RWY WAS IN SIGHT SO WE CONTINUED. AT APPROX 2000 FT WE LOST SIGHT OF THE RWY DUE TO SCATTERED CLOUDS, WE ELECTED TO GO AROUND. AND WHILE CLBING TO 4000 FT, PASSING 3600 FT (MSA 3800 FT) THE PROX WARNING SYS SAID 'TERRAIN, TERRAIN, TOO LOW, PULL UP.' THE CAPT ASSUMED CTL OF THE ACFT AND PERFORMED AN ESCAPE MANEUVER.
