Any idea where this took place--Siemens has a blade plant a few miles from me in Iowa, but I didn't hear anything on news.

Bypassing safeties - I wonder if it was intentionally or an unforeseen consequence that really, really looks bad after-the-fact. Quite the near-eternal aww-shucks moment somewhere along in there, like when Wilie E Coyote is hanging in mid air on the wrong side of the cliff edge and just has time to wave at the camera before the bottom drops out...
