Default Soaring Accident in Washington State

No License, Butt, plenty of experience
Florida man here... Lived in NW, flown in more than several Gliders.
Been winched up, car towed up, Pawnee towed up, worked the winch on
way more than 20 flights alone, lots of hours in everything from a
Stearman to F-4, 3 place gliders and 2 place gliders... How could
anyone use a 200' tow rope on a Automobile launch on a 2,500 strip and
hope to have ANY leeway to recover from ANY deviation from
perfection ?... sounds like a serious lack of EXPERIENCE met an eager
CREW trying to perform on camera. And... where is this Precious Video
that surely will shed more than light on this tragic accident?... This
Boggs Guy seems to have called it...
