Wind Turbine Blade Crashes Into Plymouth Cranberry Bog | November 7, 2025

Plymouth, MA - Emergency crews responded Friday afternoon after a massive wind turbine blade broke loose and crashed into a cranberry bog off Head of the Bay Road, according to Plymouth Fire Chief Neil Foley.

Around 1:52 p.m., a neighbor reported that one of the three blades on a roughly 300-foot-tall turbine near 810 Head of the Bay Road had suddenly gone missing. Firefighters arrived to find the detached blade — estimated to be 75 to 100 feet long — resting several hundred feet away from the base of the tower.

Fortunately, no injuries were reported, and officials say there is no threat to the public, as the site is located in a remote area surrounded by cranberry bogs.

Firefighters confirmed there were no additional hazards at the scene. The turbine’s maintenance company responded and determined the system had entered a fail-safe shutdown mode automatically when the blade detached.

The company has secured the area and is working with contractors to remove the damaged blade and clean up debris.

Both MassDEP and Plymouth Inspectional Services were notified of the incident and are overseeing the ongoing investigation.

Chief Foley credited the turbine’s remote location for preventing potential injuries, noting, “We were fortunate this happened out in the bogs and not near homes. Thankfully, no one was hurt, and the system shut down as designed.”

Two Men Arrested for Explosion at Harvard Medical School
Boston, MA - November 4, 2025

Federal authorities have arrested two Massachusetts men accused of setting off a firework that caused an explosion inside a Harvard Medical School building early Saturday morning.

According to the FBI Boston Field Office, Logan David Patterson, 18, of Plymouth, and Dominick Frank Cardoza, 20, of Bourne, were arrested November 4 by members of the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force and Harvard University Police.

Investigators say the pair used a Roman candle-style firework to ignite an explosion around 2:45 a.m. on November 1 inside a locker on the fourth floor of the Goldenson Building. The blast triggered a fire alarm but caused only minor damage and no injuries.

Surveillance footage shows the suspects climbing a fence, entering a construction area, and scaling scaffolding to access the building before fleeing.

Both are charged federally with conspiracy to damage property by means of fire or an explosive. Officials say it was “by luck” no one was hurt.
