I agree, can't argue with that logic whatsoever! Well, maybe that spring is prettier and better than fall...
Kinda...

My husband climbed towers for 20 years - never made the kind of money that pro athletes make.......I'm certainly not putting them on a pedestal...... but I still like to watch football.....lol
To: WhyisaTexasgirlinPA
I think they should be paid well but Pro Sports has gottn so out of hand. Fottball, basketball, and baseball.

I have some fresh brewed hazelnut flavor coffee I just made. If you'll show me where the classroom is, I'll bring that.

Yes that part of the economy would be destroyed. BTW a 1000 ft tower collapsed in Huntsville, AL last Friday. 3 guys working on it were killed.

Oh I hadn't heard about that tower falling! Geez - I wonder if it was the base that didn't hold, or the construction itself? We had a 500 ft tower that fell one year - ice accumulated on it - unusual for West Texas....... Few of those things are insured because it costs too much - lightening hits them regularly.....
To: WhyisaTexasgirlinPA
It failed at 100 ft level and they were well above that. My guess is it was a compression failure due to equipment and human weight.

Some engineer somewhere is gonna be in deep doodoo..... or it could be a problem with the way it was assembled..... What a shame - I'm so sorry for all involved -
To: WhyisaTexasgirlinPA
It is tragic. I think the average tower out there today was not designed for all the weight that has been added in the past 10 years.

To: Flurry
They are pretty careful about how much they add - my husband can look at a tower and tell you how many carriers it can accomodate - I think problems like this one falling are usually going to be either a badly put up tower, or a situation where the base wasn't properly done and caused a shift in the ground...... just my guess....
To: secret garden
I must have missed what you're talking about.
