Yup that happened here in Denmark. Danish co. Vestas, who also had same problem with a windmill in Scotland. The technicians were up inside it trying to fix the breaks but realised they could not. Then the weather got worse and as the turbine increased in speed they ran like crazy. The area quickly got closed by crash services (only 60 meters) but Vestas were right, that was enough.

Really cool to see it again.
