If you're way high, pitching down, flaps full, no gear, then overspeed flaps above 177 kts. That's a master warning and CRC. An overspeed master warning can't be cancelled. Too low gear is an aural but also a master warning and CRC. It could be the case the overspeed on flaps during a massive dive towards the runway masked the gear down warning to their ears.
