Analysis
While on the third landing attempt, the student pilot was high and fast, the instructor allowed the landing to be accomplished, on the last third of the runway, the CFI attempted a go-around, the flaps were not retracted. The aircraft cleared power lines, but stalled, and impacted the ground, coming to rest inverted. The aircraft was demolished. Both the CFI and student suffered minor injuries.
