First film looked rather dodgy to me, but the second one convinced me well enough.

No video I’m afraid, but I did see this as I work near by, it was specular as it went round on fire.
Nice one, like a massive catherine wheel. They should make in an annual event, the great Nissan turbine burn. Bring your own marshmallows 😀
I heard about this as well as few other incidents like it which I’m too tired atm to remember. My dad’s doing a lot of research into wind farms at the moment and there’s a lot of concern recently about the actual safety of them (there’s some story of a blade flying so far it pierced through a building into someones office 😯 ). Apparently it’s also really hard to find a good site for them but they’re still being put up all over the place because of ridiculously high subsidies from the government.

My old man puts them up for a living. actually he currently works for an irish company based in Dublin. But he takes care of Spain (which is twice the size of the UK with less than half the population so theres plenty of room)
Be honest with you, you would be pretty hard pressed to find wind turbines anywhere near human habitation generaly speaking
