Wind turbine explodes after saftey system fails

Wind turbine explodes after safety system for it fails. This took place in Denmark three weeks ago. It is kind of scary how if wind mills, like this one, did not have safety controllers they would explode throwing debris everywhere.

Wow, good thing the wind turbines are all placed, hopefully, in areas away from human beings.

What I want to know is how coincidental it was that someone had a camera going at the time that it exploded…Do they have cameras there already???

I think the story was that an alarm went off saying something was wrong. Then they probably decided to tape it because there were some heavy winds and the turbine was spinning really really fast.

It was in the news in Denmark. This was a comment left by a viewer:
“It was an accident, it happened in Denmark (which is where I live) on Februrary 22. Basically we had a “storm” and the security thing that was supposed to stop the mill failed, so it just kept accelerating. It was in the news and shit.

The movie clip is in real time btw, it really did go that fast :P
