A Wind Turbine’s Blades Fly Off In New York City, Crushing A Billboard And Vehicle

Blades from a massive wind turbine crumpled to the ground Monday, smashing a car flat and damaging another piece of infrastructure, authorities said.

“This shouldn’t have been put up so hastily. A wind turbine should not be able to be taken down by the wind,” state Sen. Jamaal Bailey said during a press conference discussing the incident, which happened in the Bronx.

A car was smashed and a billboard was knocked down but nobody was injured, according to fire and police officials.

During the press conference, Bailey and Assemblyman Mike Benedetto called on the city Department of Buildings (DOB) to make “sure something like this doesn’t happen again.” Both men spoke at the site of the collapse and were struggling to project their voices over the sound of roaring wind.

Glad no one was hurt. That could have been nasty.

The wind -- of all things -- toppled a New York City wind turbine which then crushed an unoccupied parked car, according to reports.

The incident Monday afternoon in the Bronx had elected officials who represent the area shaking their heads.
...
The wind turbine was erected recently atop a six-story parking garage, according to reports. No injuries were reported, according to Fox 5 New York.

Not much info "out there".

* Sudden hurricane-force wind gust?

* The turbine control didn't feather the blades when the wind was too strong?

* The support structure or anchoring were not adequate to the purpose?

* The support structure or anchoring were improperly installed?

* Mayor de Blasio's Inverse Midas Touch (touching gold turns it to @#$%)?

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Millions of birds have met their demise due to these enviro-whacko boondoggles.

Just a matter of time before human lives are added.

Why would they put these monstrosities in a big city?  They are noisy and dangerous.
