A local radio station in my area (WNBY AM & FM)lost their tower last 
winter when someone pulling a snowmobile trailer was turning around in 
their parking lot and caught one of the guy anchors with the trailer... 
the tower fell right on top of the studio and scared everyone inside 
half to death, but there were no injuries.  Within a week they were back 
up and running low power with a rooftop vertical FM antenna and a 
longwire AM antenna about 20 feet up.  It worked surprisingly well.
