Two of three wind turbine blades break in rural Saginaw County

Scary moments for in rural Saginaw County.

A wind turbine in Blumfield Township somehow failed crumpling two blades, mid air!

The broken turbine is on Gera Road, near Hack.

One blade is bent, the other is completely destroyed.

It’s believe that strong winds are to blame, but we do not have conformation from the owner of the unit.

Neighbors say they’re just glad it stayed together instead of crashing to the ground.

An access drive to the blade was fenced off after the incident as a safety precaution until it can be repaired.
