A wind turbine in Denmark spins out of control and explodes.
The braking mechanism that limits the speed of the wind turbine broke during a storm in Denmark. This was the outcome.
-The tower of the turbine was 60m high
-Wind speed was probably around 30 m/s
-You can see a truck at the base of the mill, but nobody was hurt. The mill had been evacuated 400m in each direction.
