I remember the night the 214ST went down and the wx was a bitch. If I recall correctly, the assumption was that both gyros were tumbled and this was noticed by a member of the ground staff who was talking to the crew prior to liftoff. The accident happened a very short distance from the rig which was in Placentia Bay at the time.
