Two wind turbines self-destruct in same week


Last weekend in Esbjerg, Denmark, a defective axel caused a 120-foot turbine to throw off all of its blades; with one slamming into a power transformer. This was followed by an incident this week in southwestern Sweden when another turbine — this time one from Vestas — threw off a blade that landed on a hiking trail.
