Using WOW, not only can the team spot the obvious visible signs of damage, such as debris, flying furniture and general destruction, they can also take precise measurements about how the wind interacts with a structure.
The structure's cone-like shape was designed to reduce wind turbulence, yet there is only one piece of curved glass on the building: a lens-shaped cap at the very top.
Above sea level, the offshore structure has been bolted together with a conventional offshore turbine of the sort used for near-shore wind farms that are bolted to the sea-bed.
