As much as I like taking an occasional trip in a glider, it is funny how the glider pilot community can't resist the chance to blow their trompet. They have done the same in my country regarding this accident,and it is ridiculous reading. In 1991 an MD80 lost both engines due to ice and dead sticked to a "landing" in Sweden. All 129 on board survived, and none of the pilots were Glider pilots. Come on now. A pilot of an airliner doesn't need glider experience to know how to fly best glide speed and hit the surface without too much speed,or without stalling!
This was two good professional airline pilots and 3 professional FA's doing their job very very professionally!
