    A 35 meter high wind turbine has collapsed in Devon:

    Faulty bolts (my guess)? Reported gusts of 50pmh seem no more than it must have faced over the last 3 years. Again a shame that these things happen and then get blown (excuse the pun) out of proportion. it will be interesting to see what really caused the failure.

    There have been a few failures of this kind. It does looks like a bolt failure from the photo. Luckily none of the ones I've been involved with are down that way.
