I was just in this glider (absolutely gorgeous) last Wednesday. *Holy crap. *Epic Fail.

Not to be contentious, but more fodder for the safety
monkeys...................looks like this guy did a fantastic job
getting the sailplane down safe and with all in 1 piece.

I am interested in learning how the "loss of air" caused this to
happen.

I will not be criticizing the pilot, as we are all prone to being in
the news someday, despite the never ending articles in Soaring about
safety.

Oh bullcrap. With 1/3 the skill and the judgement we expect of a solo
