A recently installed wind turbine came crashing down in a New York City neighbourhood, causing a chain reaction. 9News

"Our preliminary inspection at the scene found that a wind turbine affixed to the monopole structure became unstable, causing a portion of the monopole structure to collapse," Abigail Kunitz, the agency's deputy press secretary and publications editor, told CNN.

A recently installed wind turbine came crashing down in a New York City neighbourhood, causing a chain reaction on Monday. "DOB issued the property owner two Class-1 violations for failure to maintain both the monopole structure and the adjacent sign, and also issued a full stop work order and a full vacate for the building, affecting the three commercial businesses."

The wind in the area reached 24 – 32 km/h, according to CNN Meteorologist Gene Norman. It was so intense that it broke state Sen. Jamaal Bailey's umbrella as he was addressing reporters at the scene."But again, a wind turbine shouldn't be taken down by the wind."
