> they still build to a high enough standard that I'm not aware of any failure that could kill someone if they had be there There is a bunch of very energetic windturbine collapses captured on video. In each case someone standing at the wrong spot could have been crushed by falling debris. (Altough i also must admit an overspeeding turbine looks so plainly obviously deadly that anyone with a healthy dose of self preservation would evacuate the danger zone. At least in the cases where we have video of the collapse. There might be a bias to that of course, because nobody would think of filming an unexpected sudden collapse.) A particularly well documented one is the Hornslet wind turbine collapse. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hornslet_wind-turbine_collapse https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hornslet_wind-turbine_collap... https://youtu.be/jvHBUSSAzyw?si=NDpN-ZgXqPrTavvk https://youtu.be/jvHBUSSAzyw?si=NDpN-ZgXqPrTavvk There was this one in Oklahoma: https://reneweconomy.com.au/wind-turbine-collapses-on-calm-day-in-oklahoma-another-is-struck-by-lightning/amp/ https://reneweconomy.com.au/wind-turbine-collapses-on-calm-d... This i believe happened in Italy: https://youtu.be/af9Mm5nkNAQ?si=wajCXTCpN19z9okJ https://youtu.be/af9Mm5nkNAQ?si=wajCXTCpN19z9okJ Just a few days ago there was a collapse in Perth: https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/news/5330408/blades-perth-aviva-wind-turbine/ https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/news/5330408/blades-perth-av... There is also a widely shared very dramatic video with horses running away from the turbine just before it collapses. But because i can’t figure out where it happened, and if it even happened, i’m reluctant to include here.
