IN Radio: Removal Of Old Tower Goes Wrong

Old WITZ Tower
The decades-old radio tower of WITZ 990 AM in Jasper, IN was torn down Wednesday, and the process didn't quite go as planned.

A crew from Chandler-based Electronics Research Inc. worked for several hours Wednesday morning to bring the old decaying tower down.

The plan was to systematically remove the guide wires, so the tower fell slowly and deliberately to the ground.

That plan went out the window when the 66-year-old tower suddenly buckled, snapped, and plummeted.

No one was hurt in the destruction.
