Radio Station KGO(AM)  in San Francisco has its transmitting plant
(directional array with three self-supporting towers) not too far off
the San Andreas Fault that shook in the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake.
The top section of one of the towers folded down upon itself - and those
were big strong towers.  The entire array was rebuilt.
