Windmill out of control in Denmark

The automatic brakes failed during a storm in Hornslet, causing the blades to spin too fast and shatter

Doe: Or they realised the automatic breaks had failed and decided to film it because it doesn't take a genius to figure out what would happen.

I second palealien's point; either they knew this was going to malfunction or caused it to and therefore had a camera in position, or they have a camera trained on each and every windmill. The latter would be expensive but possible, maybe even profitable; the viewing rights are sold to psychologists so that they can hypnotise people with the whirring blades. Unfortunately this faulty one hypnotises people to kill so the viewing rights were bought by the army.

How did they happen to have a camera on the one that blew unless they knew it was in failure mode and gonna explode anyway?

actually, the reason the blade exploded was because it "flexed" enough that it actually hit the "mid" section of the tower structure. Lawerence, these units are designed to enter auto shut off when wind speeds reach forty MPH or greater, and turn away from the wind. This unit malfunctioned. They are also maintenced and serviced on a regular basis.

It's hard to tell if someone is being sarcastic with a comment sometimes. So I'm sorry Paul - I sincerely apologise from the bottom of my heart for being so stupid. I hope you can forgive me.
