From Mass Live.com (July 31, 2022):
A 400-foot-tall wind turbine in Gloucester suffered a mechanical failure Sunday morning causing one of the turbine’s blades to fall to the ground.
The wind turbine is at Applied Materials on Dory Road in Blackburn Industrial Park. Gloucester Fire Department received a report of the incident at approximately 7 a.m. Sunday, according to a news release.
The fire department and the city are working with Applied Materials to establish an appropriate isolation area around the turbine to ensure the safety of the structure and people around it.
Despite the size of the turbine, no injuries and no damage outside of the turbine itself were reported.
Great Republic Drive is closed in the area of the turbine and will remain closed indefinitely, the fire department said. Access to businesses on that road will be via a gated access driveway on Pond Road. [source]
