It will be interesting to hear what the final determination is on this.  We
have equipment located on an adjacent 1500' tower to this one.  A tower crew
was doing some structural enhancing earlier in the day but had completed the
work for the day.  About 3 in the afternoon a severe thunderstorm came
through the area with 50 - 70 mph winds, but the tower collapsed about 11 pm
when no one was known to be around it.  Additionally, the original TV
transmit antenna was laying on the ground.  Our local station (that has the
same ownership), showed some pretty dramatic pictures of the mess.

Sure looks like there is a little angle in the tower, but those 2 
dimensional pictures sure have a lot to be desired at times.

I wonder if there was a requirement to have a structural 
study/building permit to put on the additional antenna.  If there 
wasn't then there sure could be a lot of finger pointing in who gave 
the ultimate authority/approval.
