And THIS is why wind energy is a sham and will destroy everything, unless we ban all alternative energy immediately!

The burning windmill looks like a Star Wars’ spaceship going down in flames.

Two engineers died when the windmill they were working on caught fire. This might be the last picture of them.

While fire is certainly dangerous, the failure during high wind speeds sends debris over a fairly large area.

To be honest, I’m skeptical of this story. It’s a little too “pitch perfect tragedy”. The original story linked on the Reddit is a 404. Googling the story now only seems to result in reprints of facts claimed in the Reddit thread, and weird AI-generated articles that are clearly collages of what the internet forums are saying.

Does anyone have a primary source on this story?
