Lessons learned
- Log a blade-failure report with the date and the place named, even when the account is only a headline, so later sources can be matched.
- Until a cause is known, treat an early blade failure as a prompt to inspect similar turbines on the same site.
- State clearly what is not yet known, including debris, injuries and any outage, rather than implying a full account.
