I'd suspect its a weight question.  Those blades are slightly longer than a football field, and made of balsa wood covered in fiberglass.   The Nantucket one that failed was manufactured in Canada, by a GE Vernova factory Here's diagram of a typical blade

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: I have often wondered why the blades are not metal?
