    W0AIH can sell WEAU some tower space!
    I am surprised at such a sudden deterioration in a woman whose only ailment was a lazy anus.

    Other articles on that site tell of the other broadcasters helping out, and they are back on the air.

    Glad nobody got hurt.

    That's going to be a hell of a construction project for somebody, after they grok why it failed.

    The WKBT tower is about the same size and vintage. I fear that the day will come and it craps the bed I give it a 99% probability of landing right on top of a nursing home.

    Why the hell is the nursing home so close to a structure like that?

    Tower was most likely there first, surrounded by empty fields. Then the land got sold, and the people who built the buildings just assumed that the tower would never fall.
