I think that if you cut the mid section and lower guy wires then the tension from the top guy’s would crumple the tower.

Prolly Step 2 should be “RUN!”.

Yup. And by cutting the guy wires in a certain sequence the direction of fall could be controlled.

Even the cables for the guy wires could bring in some heavy bucks. But the size of the operation is such that would require heavy trucks, specialized equipment and know how. I don’t think a couple meth heads pulled this off.
