Wind Turbine Explosion!
This footage is fascinating. Sort of scary and unbelievable at the same time. The tower was almost 200 feet tall and the turbines were moving close to 70 mph. The whole thing just disintegrates, which isn't what you want to see or hear about, especially with the capital investment required to get a wind turbine installed. In an unrelated story, Suzlon Energy installed some wind turbines in the Midwest that have been breaking down due to the cold weather (see link below), which is probably contributing to a declining stock price.
