Maybe it needed an oil change :-)

How they knew this would happen and caught it on video is be beyond
me.

For those with dial-up, the video is only 40 seconds long....


I was wondering the same thing. It is evident that the support was struck by
something, either shot into it or flung by the blade. I have to wonder if
this was to be replaced and they did a destructive test on it.


I was thinking "test", but the sound and power of the wind makes me
think otherwise. It looked like a powerful storm.

The title of the video indicates "turbine going wild".

This video is a "smoker"
