It's nice how they say the best thing would be to cut it up, but without offering to actually buy it for that purpose.

Why would Schleicher want to buy one of their own "toasted" gliders? A destructive tear down inspection by the engineering teams as an academic exercise? To what end? To design a fix to allow a glider to survive this seemingly rarest of event?
