Wind Turbine Catstophe


Now first off these are NOT frost fans.

They are wind turbines and are therefore a completely different beast to the dainty little whiners that infest New Zealand.

However, these are sufficiently amusing (in an unfortunate way) to warrant posting. Both can be found on the Fail Blog and for those that have never been there, might I recommend a visit.

The first (at left) appears to be simulating a frost pot and could be quite effective.

The second will require you to visit the Fail Blog as it includes the video of a turbine spinning itself to destruction.

There is actually a second video taken with a wider angle that shows the scale of the fan and the destruction as the tower collapses (including landing on a van at the bottom of the unit). Sadly I was not able to locate this one. If anyone spies it, drop me a comment.
