As Christian Reinboth reports on ScienceBlogs.de, at his energy blog Frischer Wind ("Brisk Wind"), unusually high winds in Denmark on Monday tore the rotor from a turbine on a wind-power farm in Hornslet. The turbine failed spectacularly, exploding mid-spin and scattering parts across the landscape below.

Click the image below to view two short videos of the disintegrating turbine at Reinboth's blog:

The Danish government and the turbine's manufacturer have each launched investigations seeking to clarify the cause of the accident.

Wind turbines have a maximum speed. If the wind is to high they stop it. Aparently though, the system is not perfect!

I cant believe the it exploded though. Im almost inclined to think its fake.

I did not agree the above comments. There are many reasons to destoryed a wind turbine even it has the automatic brake system.
