Blimey, here is a pic of one of those modern day windmills blowing up with the wind. They never thought of that, did they? Engineering fail!

It sure is, when the person who took it captured when the nose of the windmill blew off. Notice the windmill is reversed because it's motor and controls was burnt out. The person who took this must have waited a while, and managed to capture when the nose cap blew off in electrical fireworks.
