  1. youre an idiot oh my god

  2. error. it’s constructed to handle with every storm in that region where it’s installed.

  3. .

    .

  4. Hurricane in Norway? I don’t think so..

  5. They lock the gears until it is ready to go. If those blades were moving before they had it anchored they would be in for trouble.

  6. Your attempt at humor was pretty poor. I just called it like I saw it. Being that your comment is on youtube leads me to believe that more often than not, a comment like this is true and moronic in nature… So … ya… internet arguing … awesome!

  7. notice how it doesn’t move a bit LOL

    Let’s not forget to say a prayer for the 535 sunken wind turbines that made this possible.
