Doomed from the start.   Bad rigging.  Not enough slack in the strap around the tower to the crane hook.  Too many people too close to the tower as well.  Lucky no one got hurt.

Dennis sent me this and for those of us in the process of dealing with towers and antennas… you just have to watch, it isn't pretty.

The old saying, "you win some, you lose some" but this was a rough one to lose...
