Two-engineers-died-This-might-be-the-las

Two engineers died when the wind turbine they were working on caught fire. This might be the last picture taken of them alive. Picture was taken on October 29th, 2013 in the Netherlands

A wind turbine caught fire Tuesday afternoon in Ooltgensplaat, Netherlands.

Four mechanics were at work in the wind turbine, about 80 meters above ground, Tuesday afternoon. By a cause, yet unknown, a fire started in the engine room.

Two mechanics managed to get themselves to safety in time, reported a police spokesperson. Rescuers found the body of a deceased mechanic next to the wind turbine on the ground.

Because of the height the fire department initially had trouble extinguishing the fire in the engine room. In the evening, a special team of firefighters went up with a large crane, and found the body of the missing man.

An eyewitness reported, she saw two mechanics sitting on the tip of the turbine. She saw them jump through the fire toward stairs.
