Good heavens! I thought the subject line was a bit dramatic before I
looked at the image but it really has blown up, hasn't it!

Quite a dramatic picture.


I thought these things were supposed to have inbuilt brakes? Still at
least an exploding turbine cause less damage than an exploing nuclear
sub station...

It seems to be facing down wind, perhaps there is no reverse gear.
