My best guess: Aiming for a field beyond the car park, saw s/he was going to miss, pulled on the stick to extend the glide, plane stalled / began to spin to the left. Everything else was pure luck.
However we do know of other SkyGods purposefully executing the manoeuvre, who have more or less successfully stalled a light aircraft into a tree - wasn't one instance near Aberdeen?
correction: looking at the location where s/he landed (in the car park of Johnson Technologies, Plainville), s/he could have put the plane back down on the remaining runway at Robertson Airport. Very strange indeed
