Beaches Covered in Shards and Debris as Giant Wind Turbine Shatters

Quick Summary:

Broken Wing Over the weekend, a massive 360-feet-long blade of a wind turbine off the shore of Nantucket, a tiny island off of Cape Cod, snapped, leading to "large floating debris and fiberglass shards" threatening local beachgoers.

On Wednesday, the federal government ordered the responsible Vineyard Wind farm to shut down.

This is the damaged turbine blade that has sent thousands of pieces of fiberglass & foam core onto Nantucket’s south shore.
