Dramatic footage shows the moment a wind turbine in Denmark fell victim to high winds.
The video, posted on the YouTube website, revealed that the 60-metre structure was destroyed as a result of its braking mechanism failing.
When strong gusts blow, wind farm operators activate the braking mechanisms on turbines in order to protect them from being damaged.
As the video above shows, failure to do so can result in catastrophic consequences.
