If you look at the other side of the roof, i.e. the side without the
glider sticking out, there would appear to be a lot of shingles(?)
missing. I'm not familiar with that type of roofing, but that looks like
somewhat older damage. Am I right about that, or would the shingles have
been blown off when the glider went through the other side of the roof?

You're right, that roof shows evidence of a long history of neglect. Based on the videos, I'd guess they have needed a new roof for at least the last 30 years or so. And from the Google street view images, dated 2014, you can see evidence of a lot of rot on all front facing windows, door casings, and porch so it's pretty clear the home has missed a lot of maintenance over the years.

"One of the aircraft’s wings fell on the other side of the house"


There could be a clue why the shingles were missing.

It looks as if the wing was snapped off by hitting the chimney: given
that I'd expect it to have taken out the shingles along a line from the
chimney to where the outer end of the wing lies on the grass, not several
rows of shingles running so far along the roof parallel to the roof ridge
and guttering.

It must be pre planned then. They needed a new roof, so looked for a glider to crash through their roof so they can make an insurance claim. Common fraud ;-)

She'll get some money out of it! Reminds me off a time where we dropped a piece of DC-8 through a woman's house. Our managers/lawyers showed up at her house. Her redneck son was there and insisted my airline pay for all damages and give her two round trip tickets anywhere. Our guys got out the check book and wrote a check on the spot! I work for a freight airline...

So, did she get two tickets or just freight labels?
