El Reg: Disintegrating wind turbine caught on camera Spectacular Danish brake failure [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3FZtmlHwcA[/youtube] "YouTubers have been enjoying some spectacular footage of the disintegration of a Danish wind turbine which ended up a bit broken after its brakes failed. Engineers who attended the scene were unable to prevent the break-up, and wisely retired to a safe distance."

At least you guys recognise the value they bring. We have some but the State Gov't want to put up more to "go green" but stupid ppl keep protesting and they keep NOT putting them up.  Unusual for the mast to be fiberglass. Ours are made of steel, baby. elbow might need to come over here to do safety checks on them ONCE he gets his Engineering ticket.

Fibreglass doesn't rust and doesn't need painting - not easy in a high wind
