I'd agree there's no direct evidence for human error in that video. But I
thought that human error was the most likely explanation -- whether it was
in the design, construction, or some human designed system.
What kind of problem, that does not involve a human, do you think might
have caused the overspeed and subsequent destruction?
I suppose a meteorite could have hit the turbine. But I'd guess that would
be a lower probability event than some human error. And I'd be surprised
if that would cause an overspeed (as differentiated from the turbine merely
appearing to blow up).
