Video of the WTG tagline snap
By John McDaid | Saturday, 28 February 2009
Okay, I ran the good pix first, but now I've logged today's video, and found that I caught the moment when the guide rope snapped on the first lift of the nacelle on the Portsmouth wind turbine generator. Thirty seconds, more annoyance than crisis, nobody gets hurt, but it's interesting video.

Waiting...
I had to chuckle this morning reading the headlines for the WTG. It's beginning to sound like lines from Waiting for Godot - it won't be finished today, but probably tomorrow...
I do want to thank you for keeping this updated and for the photos - a very exciting project.

He said to wait by the nacelle...
Hi, English...
You have to keep a sense of humor about this. If that line hadn't snapped yesterday, they would have had enough time to get the blades done. Sigh.
Cheers.
