It appeared to me that there was no anchor bolt failure or reinforcing failure, but instead, the whole pad footing overturned with the tower falling. Either a sub grade failure or a design error. Look at the picture and you can see the concrete foundation still intact and overturned.

So, the contractor skimped on the amount of concrete in the foundation. He probably saved himself a $1000 on the concrete from Redimix.
