Now I'm starting to wonder. That club used an underpowered Citabria
for towing. I wonder if they just had a low rope break at a point
they were too low to turn back and too high to land ahead? The
newspaper article my Mom sent me mentioned something about getting
stuck in sink, but they still haven't identified the people on board
yet.

Nothing like the power of a 250HP Pawnee with at least 200ft AGL when you
clear the airport boundary.
Granted.. we don't have trees at the airport fence.
