As a wind turbine technician myself I can assure you no one gets the story right. Those 2 guys were not brothers and they stayed to fight the fire. We are not trained to fight fires only to combat them if they prevent us from escaping. By the time they realized what happened the entire turbine inside was incased in smoke. One tried to climb down and died. The other jumped and tried to slide down the blade who also died. They should have all climbed down together but this is why most safety protocols are in blood. This incident sparked backlash across the wind industry and many many many safety procedures were put in place. We now have to have self rescue kits and a safety bag filled with a fire extinguisher and medical devices including aed. It must be uptower on all crews and will be fired if caught without it. Edited on 05/23/24: I see alot of people are interested in what I as a wind tech think. First off a parachute isn’t going to do much and even if we had one the chances of it not deploying or getting tangled is super high. These wind turbines are just not big enough for it. Second is a helicopter isn’t going to rescue us. It just wouldn’t get there in time. Ambulances have a hard time as it is to get to us and even severely train firefighters would probably have no clue what to do. It is up to us to perform rescues when needed and we solely rely on our coworkers. Third is compared to other industries our safety protocols are high af. I feel incredibly safe doing my job. Yes I use to be terrified of heights but you kind of get use to it. I don’t even have a second thought about looking down. It’s completely natural feeling of being in the air. All in all people die making careless mistakes. I’ve seen it all. This job is incredibly safe but those who take shortcuts and would risk their lives for a wind turbine is beyond me. Fuck that if ANY emergency happens I’m climbing down. Id rather be fired them dead.

Idk if that's possible. Look how big that turbine is compared to them. They would have to run over the top, down, over to the hatch and down the hatch all while holding their breath, holding their eyes shut and being being burned at the same time. But I see what you are saying. Either 100% die from falling to your death or take a chance ,possibly burning to death trying to escape to live as a burn victim but still alive atleast.

In Texas there're many areas where there are 40 acre storage areas where they stack the old blades, some as little as 10 years usage, 10 to 20 high because of premature damage due to poor manufacturing and design. Then you add to that they have no suitable recycle program to get rid of them. Even when they are not being used they need a large power source to run the pumps that lubricate, heat and cool them. When you take this all into consideration it turns out that the energy output is far less and the environmental impact is far more than the experts claim.

Would it be a silly idea to equip these people with a modified BASE jumping rig? Like, a rig that contains a reserve canopy you’d find on a skydive rig. If they need to jump just put your hand through the chest handle, jump, and pull. May be costly but it doesn’t seem like a silly idea.
