It isn't yet clear what caused the fall.My guess would be gravity.

It is a safe bet that somewhere right now there is an engineer getting snot choke out of them by a very irate project manager.

Probably the same project manager that ignored the engineer who told them the tower was in bad shape and ready to come down.

I love this part:
try to re-aim your receive antenna toward downtown Omaha to receive a better signal during this period. As always, refer this to qualified service personnel.
Yeah, that's the ticket; get some union goon to come over and diddle your rabbit ears.

Sounds like they didn't get the tension on the guy wires right. Or one of them let go.

I feel bad if Cingular had an uplink on that antenna. What are those poor deer going to do with those antennas stuck on their heads?

Or one of them let go. Engineers in Nebraska never heard of Factor of Safety or redundancy?

Saw some file of a 2,000' tower in NC (Raleigh area) a few years back that got covered with a thick layer of ice after a freak storm. As the sun came up, it began to melt the East side of the tower. Huge blocks fell off the one side, then the stress became so great the tower just twisted and fell. It was quite an amazing thing to see. A lot of force pent up in a structure like that...
