Mother Nature goofs up, destroys wind turbine

The wind turbine in the video above is the standard 3-bladed model that helps harvest wind power as a renewable alternative to conventional fuel-based energy. It looks like the turbine got a bit more wind than it could handle, however, as a storm in Aarhus County, Denmark tore it apart.

C'mon now, Mother Nature — we build these turbines to treat you better. Chill out.

There is another video of the same event from a slightly different angle. It's the third thumbnail you see under this one when it finishes. I guess people assumed this was probably going to happen, so they started filming.

You can't blame nature because we underestimated the engineering.
