    Thats hilarious

    If this happened in the states they would of blamed terrorists, as it happened in Denmark, they will blame the Germans LOL

    personally the guy whom designed the thing should of thought about a "Slip-Gear" or a Fin De-bevel system to reduce the power intake from the rotor....

    After all you need not have an explosion to know that to much wind will destroy the rotor, and i figure for an engineer it would of been obvious that all materials have a failing point of oscillation.

    man i reckon some one is in for a beating.... lets hope they got insurance!

    the irony is.... once is a freak of nature.... but two inside a week.. well thats a trend!!!
    If i had a hammer, I would hammer in the morning, i would hammer in the evening, i would hammer all day

    The speed each one suddenly destroyed itself at was quite remarkable. I wonder if they were build by an American company!

    If you haven't played a classic game in years, it's never too late to start!

    I was under the impression it was the same turbine in each clip, just captured from 2 different angles and distances. I'm surprised there wasn't more of a "WOAH, SHIT!" type of reaction from the people doing the recording though.
