[HCARC] "B I G" Tower Rebuild

EXCELLENT TOWER TUTORIAL

In March 2011, WEAU-TV's 2000 foot tower in  Eau Claire,
Wisconsin collapsed during a winter storm. The station's  news
and engineering departments then produced an outstanding TV  news
documentary covering the reconstruction efforts.

This is one of  those "must see" videos. It's long, but it
is fascinating from both  engineering and management perspectives.
The video shows everything that  happened from the Stainless
factory floor, through hot dip galvanizing,  through tower erection
to the ERI UHF-TV antenna that crowned the new  structure.
