Hi Eric,

thank god the pilots are safe!

Do you know anything more about how the accident happened?
Are there any 'official' sources, e.g. like www.bfu-web.de
where an analysis of such accidents is done?
Failure of the wings sounds a bit like they went 'very' fast
before the glider broke?

Safe landings!
Bernd
