physics question (answer is given, but idk how to do this)

A wind turbine with 3 blades that rotate about their end (rod rotating about its end) spins with an angular velocity of 1.26 rad/s. Each blade is 25.4m long and has a mass of 13,600kg. The height of the tower is 64.6m. If the 3-blade assemble becomes detached and falls to the ground, but continues to rotate, how much kinetic energy does the assemble have when it reaches the ground? [Ans: 32,800,000J]
