Anyone know the story behnd that?

I'd guess that the controls to feather the blades in high winds had
failed and the blades bent until they wellied into the tower?

Since they were filming it, I suppose they knew it was going to happen.

Just think. The greeny firewall will be blocking this now like the
Danish cartoons.

Never mind. It all bears repeating.

If it had been a microcurie of leaked radiation from a used condom
discarded by a nuclear power worker, we would never hear the end of it
would we?

But simnce its a windmill, that actually might have killed someone,
"shrug: must have been poor maintenace innit?" 'Oh well, that's all
right then. No need to impose rigorous safety standards and proper
accountability and checks, and a fund for people killed by exploding
windmills then' Nor even to add to the cost of offshore farms the boats
and men who will have to risk their lives making sure the ones in the
middle of the north sea are not 'poorly maintained' etc etc.

That isn't going to be a problem.. one good storm and there won't be any
windmills.
At least we still have generating capacity to run without them ATM.
