Sabotage suspected at toppled wind turbine as second is brought down

 An investigation into the collapse of the first turbine in Bradworthy, Devon, during a 50mph gale last weekend has revealed that bolts are missing from its base.


The turbine was initially thought to have been brought down by the wind, despite being designed to withstand winds of up to 116mph, but the new evidence could suggest a case of foul play, councillors said.[The Telegraph ]

"get on the horn and spread the word around the world to all our friends. Tell everyone how to take those son's- a- bitches down"

Loosen a few bolts, wait around for a little gale to blow- let the wind do the job for us.--genius!!

they do lie a lot you're right. But regardless, let's just revel in the fact that two of the turbines have been toppled, and not subject the heroic perpetrator of the deed to any further exposure!

Who cares what topples them as long as they come down!!
