I discussed that with him a little and he thought that the concrete was not
high enough to keep standing water and mud away from the tower legs and that
20 years of that contributed to rusting and weakening of the legs which in
turn, contributed to the second tower failure. You may recall that the
second tower ultimately failed at the base.
