How could a turbine which is being driven by the wind possibly "pull" you towards it? Indeed the opposite must be true, the turbine must be offering an (infinitessimally small) impediment to the airflow upwind of it or else it wouldn't be turning.
As to producing enough 'turbulence' to cause an aircraft to crash...
"could not be ruled out" indeed! Presumably neither could the Bermuda Triangle or intervention by little green lizards.
What a fatuous weasel excuse!
