fuck no if this happens somewhere built up like the one next to the M4 in Reading

even if it did happen in the center of london it would be a damn site better than if a nuclear station failed! And they do! Statistically The most likely fault is human, and we design, build and manage them. Give me wind anyday!

Why did they not sound suprised when it happened?

 

for some reson l found that really funny but why was some one filming it?

 

The braking mechanism that limits the speed of the wind turbine broke during a storm in Denmark. That was the outcome lol

 

that'll be the company I work for then

the gearbox inside the nacelle should be regulating how fast the turbine spins, looks like it failed big time. It can also can turn so it should have turned out of the wind rather than be facing the full force of it

 

also just for reference those bits that look like twigs that are flying around after the tower collapses are 40m long so you've got a pretty good idea of how far they were away from it (I would be too)

 

I have the pleasure of working on the e-on robins rigg windfarm project later this year, o i'm really looking forward to bobbing about on a barge in the irish sea

 

I looked at that and then did the typical looking at other related vids and found this.
