Here are to more pictures of this. Per /u/jeremyRockit, it was destroyed in the Peyton Creek wind farm in Texas after being hit by a tornado 14 June 2021 causing a fire after a blade broke apart and hit a transformer. This is a Nordex/Acciona 3.15MW.
The tower will survive, the blades are made of fiberglass and balsa wood so that’s why they look so pitiful.

Drooling Fan Girl@delibrarian @yetzt Thank you! What search term did you use, if you don’t mind?
P.S. it might have been a storm with strong winds rather than a tornado. https://twitter.com/NWSHouston/status/1404594541861163010?s=20
@drooling_fan_girl I used the TinEye reverse image search. Do a search and re-sort the results for 'oldest' - not always the original, but often an early one will have some context or have the signature/watermark (some people crop sigs out 😢.) I've got the extension installed in my browser and use it a lot. https://tineye.com/
Note: the recent AI art controversies have meant that a lot of artists & photographers are taking down or making private their work. Lots of dead ends now.
@delibrarian thanks and yeah that’s sad all around. I understand why they’re doing it though.

tommy@yetzt do you have a source for that, where/when did it happen?
@tommy found it randomly on the internet, but @delibrarian did some digging: https://scicomm.xyz/@delibrarian/109620348527131641

@yetzt how do you even...???
Gary Parker@yetzt @hacks4pancakes bit of Baby Bio, it’ll be reet
Nick 'The Viking'Aramid-family fibers are remarkable
Dustin [BusySignal-KE2EFX]@yetzt even the turbines are overworked and quiting.
kira :3@yetzt most people don't know this but the blades of a wind turbine are naturally floppy and only stick out due to centrifugal force

Yaoi Box Balloon@yetzt I thought this was the prototype for the one Dali designed.
Great artist. Terrible engineer.
Will Clark@yetzt common misconception but that’s actually from over watering.

Danie van der Merwe@yetzt thought someone forgot to wind it up 😀

Kevin RussellHuh, it looks like the blades are inflatable, and have ripped catastrophically.
Its fascinating construction, light, firm by pressure? If this isnt the technique whats wrong with the technique?
Light blades are surely more efficient.
As an extra aside, thats what wind catrastroohe looks like, and all the people hurt are in the picture. Unknown quantity of wind escaped.
@yetzt That's for the tip on seeing for "oldest first".
Yeah the AI thing. It's just two steps shy of warfare. Artists are doing something about it too - poor Mickey Mouse and Barbie - that's a trademark workout of epic proportions. 🙂
