Anyone have any knowledge of the three fatality glider crash in Texas?
Glider type? Situation?

The glider was an IAR Twin Lark belonging to the Greater Houston Soaring Association. The PIC was a GHSA instructor and the flight occurred late in the day in good weather conditions. Accounts vary but the consistent one is the glider departed the tow at 150-200 feet AGL, rolled right into a nose-down position and impacted the ground. FAA and NTSB are on the scene and no other details are confirmed.

Obvious question. The IS28b2 Twin Lark is definitely not a three
person glider. What's with that?
