Wind Turbine Self Destructs - Caught On Tape

Found this video thanks to engadget. The video captures a Danish wind turbine as it spins out of control due to break failure. The turbine eventually destroys itself. Interestingly, there are 16 turbines by the same manufacturer, Vestas, at the North Cape Wind Farm near Tignish, Prince Edward Island, about an hour and a half or so from where I live. They have been in commission since 2001, the one in the video is said to be 10 years old... The pictures below where taken at North Cape in 2004.
