Wow, that turbine has seen better days. I'm thinking the cause was either lightning or the mechanical parts overheated and caught fire. Sad to see.
I was guessing lightening too, but google says -
Wind turbines catch fire because highly flammable materials such as hydraulic oil and plastics are in close proximity to machinery and electrical wires. These can ignite a fire if they overheat or are faulty. Lots of oxygen, in the form of high winds, can quickly fan a fire inside a turbine. |
