Two engineers, aged 19 and 21, were stuck on top of a wind turbine after a fire broke out in the engine room. Unfortunately, neither of them survived.
On October 29th, 2013, four engineers were performing maintenance on 12 turbines at Deltawind's Piet de Wit wind farm in the Netherlands. During the maintenance work, a fire started in the engine room. While two of the workers managed to escape the blaze and save their lives, the remaining two were left stranded at the top of the turbine.
The height of the turbine was approximately 80 meters or 260 feet, making it difficult for firefighters to combat the fire and rescue the trapped employees. Sadly, one of the men was found at the bottom of the turbine, having either intentionally jumped or accidentally fallen. The other engineer was retrieved several hours later.
Before their tragic deaths, a photograph was taken of the two engineers embracing each other.
Today, we remember the courage of the American & Allied Troops that stormed the beach in Normandy.
We honor the soldiers who took to air, land & sea to free the world from a madman hellbent on global conquest.
Heroes will always be needed.
Freedom will always be worth fighting for.
The margin of victory in Lake V Hobbs was 17k.
That's .6%. Or .1% away from what would have been a legally required recount.
Keep that in mind when people nitpick the amount of bad ballots (and we stand by our analysis) that passed through Maricopa County.
Through #OperationLoneStar, the Texas National Guard and Texas DPS repel illegal immigrants attempting to cross into Texas.
Texas continues to fill dangerous gaps Biden's open border policies created.
We won't back down.

Your vote is sacred.
It's sickening to see Maricopa County water it down like this.
"You are about to see 90 seconds of the signature verification process where one person is verifying signatures as fast as they can load. Compared to the person sitting next to him."
President Biden inherited the most secure border in decades.
On Day 1 in office, he eliminated those successful policies and abandoned his duty to uphold our nation’s security.
Biden's refusal to secure the border has created a record-breaking crisis of illegal immigration.
Texas is taking action around the clock to respond to Biden’s border crisis.
We’re doing what no state has ever done before.
While Biden lays out the welcome mat, Texas will do everything possible to repel illegal immigrants.
