Wind Warning & Sudden Crash

[Seedubb]

I saw a red wind warning this afternoon, advising me to land my Mavic Pro 2. I was in tripod mode and the drone was sat idling at about 20ft.

I lowered the drone slightly and let it sit for about 30 seconds to see how the wind was affecting it. Suddenly the noise of the drone changed, as if one of the propellors was obstructed or had failed.
The drone pitched to the right and flew off at great speed, much faster than tripod mode should allow. It flew super fast across a field and crashed in to the ground, resulting in 3 snapped arms.

Upon finding the drone, one of the motors was super warm, while the other 3 were fine. Could this motor have failed under the stress of the wind?

Also, would flight logs contain any info pertaining to the failure?

No .. it had nothing to do with the wind

Also, would flight logs contain any info pertaining to the failure?

Probably ... why don't we check?

Thanks Meta, here's the link to the report - DJI Flight Log Viewer - PhantomHelp.com

There doesn't seem to be any obvious change in circumstances before it went haywire.

It seemed to go wrong around 21m 50.3s - looks like it went in to auto landing after the odd noise started. Then apparently hit 65mph?
