Residents have told how they heard a sound like "thunder" as a massive 300ft wind turbine collapsed in ferocious winds and split apart.
The turbine, at a wind farm near Gilfach Goch, Bridgend, in South Wales broke apart in stormy weather on Monday morning.
Photos taken at the Pant Y Wal wind farm show the huge turbine lying on the ground, separated from its base with its blades completely destroyed, reported WalesOnline.
