Its a shame this happened, if installed properly the AB-577 military crank up 
tower is safe with its 3 sets of guy wires and very large earth anchors, i did 
not see the Base section commonly referred to as the rocket launcher, at least 
that's what i call it. when this tower is raised Using its "raising fixture" 
its unlikely it would have fallen, could it be they were trying to erect the 
mast alone and it might have got away from them. in any case a real tragedy.

 

                                                   

Dave, KE6ENI



AB-577/GRC Mast
