1). The turbine is twisted around on its axis.
I'm sure these things will move around with a change in wind direction. Broken turbine will not move around anylonger, so it's actually the other turbines that have moved.

2). There are conflicting reports about the blade that was detached.
The sun also stated that the blade was not a the scene:

Do you understand me?
"What's the low down?" Sounds charming.
The wind turbine no longer turns and If I help you, Mr. Green,
it will be "turns" with us too. Quid pro quo. I tell you things,
you tell me things. Not about this Ufo case, though.
About yourself. Quid pro quo. Yes or no?
[pause]
Yes or no, Mr. Green? Poor little Vasili is waiting.
YOUR ANSWER VASILI
The answer is yes, but you must promise me one thing....Vasili must be kept under control....are you able to do this? He must never leave his side of the glass..otherwise deal is off.
You say the propellor no longer turns...shame. Well Im sure they can get a new one, the electric must continue. It will be replaced soon...only to become something of myth and legend.
Charming you say, well yes. I would be no other way to Vasili, he helped me greatly with that little Grey problem I had. Just make sure he is kept under control that is all I ask.

WIND FARM UFO UPDATE: Fallen blade riddle latest
Turbine mystery update
Published Date: 14 January 2009
Wednesday 4pm - THE results of tests run on the 65ft wind turbine blade which mysteriously 'fell off' one of the colossal turbines at the Conisholme wind farm could take up to a month to arrive.
As part of an investigation launched by wind farm company Ecotricity, the fallen blade has been sent to Germany for tests to establish what caused the blade to fall to the ground, and another to be severely misshapen.
It had been reported the results would be in by the end of this week, however, it is now looking more likely to be a month long wait until the mystery is solved.
A sighting of "a pink jelly-fish" in the skies above Wimbledon has prompted speculation that UFOs are visiting the area.
On January 9 a visitor to wimbledonguardian.co.uk said: “I looked out my flat window this morning, over towards Merton way, and to my surprise notice a large bright pink jelly-fish looking object surrounded by a pink haze. It appeared to be hovering over or above the pylons in the distance.
“It hovered for about five minutes while I frantically searched for my camera. Did anyone else in Wimbledon see it? Any explanations?”
The author of the post, who responded to our story questioning whether there may be a link between wind turbines and UFOs, claimed the sighting took place at around 8.05am.
On January 4 a 290ft turbine near Louth in Lincolnshire was badly damaged in what enthusiasts claim was a “UFO related incident”, and witnesses reported low flying objects and unusual nights near a wind farm.

This story is going nowhere slowly. There is no evidence except a couple of broken windturbine blades, it has already been suggested that the the blade that failed hit the other blade on the way down, hence, that is why the blade on the turbine is damaged. The other blade was lying all bent up at the base of the tower.
There is no answer as to why it fell. It could be anything, from fatigue failure possibly due to improper assembly, to anything like UFO.
But really odds are on that this was due to entirely "normal" forces known to mankind and our known science.
The only weird thing is that someone saw a tentacled thing fly in the direction of the wind farm (the female on the C4 news) (I don't know what day or time) and another man saw a tentacled thing above the turbine, again I don't know excat time or day but I think it was earlier on in the evening. I haven't read a full account of what he saw. I have not for example read about how he saw the thing go away, because surely he would have kept watching it - don't you think? A tentacled octopus in the sky glowing with light, I mean you wouldn't just say "oh well" and go to bed would you?

Ecotricity: No evidence yet for UFO attack on wind farm
Ecotricity has said it has still found no evidence to support claims that a UFO collided with one of its wind turbines at Conisholme in Lincolnshire.
The company has now started work to rebuild the damaged turbine, with all three 22 metre long blades and the central hub on the Enercon E48 turbine being replaced.

Cranes are on the Fen Farm site, with the replacement blades and hub already there, ready to be lifted into place.
Investigations into the causes for the damage - which saw one blade removed from the turbine and another bent badly out of shape - are still continuing.
The company said it was "narrowing down the options" and was closer to an understanding, but added: "we're not there yet".
It has suggested a number of likely culprits for the damage, including a possible collision. But it said lightning or some kind of material, design or maintenance failure was a more likely cause.
Dale Vince, Ecotricity managing director, said today that UFOs were now "bottom of my probability list" of causes.
Ecotricity said there was still "no evidence" of a collision, explaining that if something collided with the turbine there should be some debris on the ground and an exchange of materials between the two objects involved in the collision.
Once the bent blade is removed, more light could be shed on the matter, Ecotricity said, but added: "It is more than likely, as many have suggested, that the fallen blade hit and broke the second blade on the way down."
"To be honest we had a lot of fun with this, and that took the edge off what was otherwise a serious and very bad event for us," said Mr Vince.
