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.....

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.
