I'd have hated to be inside that transmitter shack when that mess came down!

I was talking about towers to a 1Lt in the Corps of Engineers in SE Asia 
many years ago and said, "I wouldn't want my tower to fall over."  He 
said, "Guyed towers don't fall over, they collapse into a heap at the 
base."  Guess he was right ... at least in this case.
