OK... I know that it's a semantic issue, but sometimes the terse descriptions we see in the initial FAA accident reports are a little "interesting," as was this one. And on those times when such accidents harm no one, the wording can even be amusing -- as seen in this recent description of "a forced landing..." in a glider -- which is going to come down sooner or later, believe you me (especially the way I used to fly the 2-33A... God help the soaring world). Grin.
