Default Another glider crash?

It was reported that the pilot tried to make 3 landing attempts..........where did he get the energy to do that? More likely he hade a high-speed low pass, then pulled up, turned around and grabbed the wrong lever (gear handle instead of spoilers) flew the entire length of the runway wondering why the ship wasn't descending, then tried to turn around a second time and probably entered a stall-spin scenario as evidenced by the crumpled mess shown in the photo.
There is something missing here,
