Based only on what has been said on this thread a POSSIBLE scenario is a tail rotor failure shortly after takeoff but possibly just enough airspeed to try and fly it on, in the dark and without much in the way of forward lights.

I met Gary briefly twice, once in Hobart where he was covering the Sydney to Hobart and also at William Creek in 2009. It just seems so unfair.
