He keeps pointing the camera to the ground and he misses the moment the windmill finally breaks down. Suggestion:

1) look into the camera to keep it aligned

2) look at the subject and keep the camera off

Pick one.

and at one of the most amazing moments - when the blades fly away - the cameraman points away and stays away.

That's because he has just had his wits scared out of him. Being that close to a windmill that comes apart is super stupid and must have caused him/her to think 'what the hell am I doing here?' at the moment it came apart.

because the pretty spiral is never centered and/or completely in-frame.
