In 1998 the WCKW-AM 1010 radio tower was dropped to make way for a new tower. This tower was constructed in 1966. The pipe tower was rusted badly.

  • OH my god what a waste; I would have sooooo taken that! Even if it was in bad shape at 1/2 the height it would be plenty sturdy if it stood at all at that height; I literally can't believe the way they destroy those things considering how damn expensive they are for ham radio ones that are wimpy and small.

  • There isn't a tower that's equal in value to the life of on human. Why risk it when dissembling a old tower in unknown condition. An old 300' tower near here is set to be demolished to make way for a new cell phone tower. We had amateur radio equipment on off on for 40 years Things change all gray trains get to the end of the line. Suck it up & get on with life

  • Imagine how much money you could make selling all that scrap metal

  • You take it down section at a time.

  • How stupid that was to waste that good tower they could have taken it down and

    sold it.

  • Amazing the sound these things make when they hit the ground....sounds like an erector set.......

  • blowing it up tank raming it terrorists blowjng it up

  • How else would you get it down...

  • This is what happens when a tower falls.
