No it isn't N2NFG's tower.

There was an article in the Henderson newspaper showing a local
Warrington broadcast tower (WARR) on the ground.  

"A tractor working around the tower apparently got tangled in the
support wire, breaking it loose and the steel tower collapsed in
pieces."

Egads, that's all it takes?

The tower looks like Rohn 45 (about the width of the woman's hips in
the picture).  The station broadcast on 1530 AM so the tower could
have been about 160' tall.

I wonder if there any sections one can salvage...
