ULTRALIGHT PILOT THUMPS TOWER, SCRAMS:

There's one luck ultralight pilot out there somewhere.  The pilot hit a
150-foot personal TV tower
near West Point, Ind., after buzzing some of his friends.  About 45 feet of
the tower was sheared off, and three steel cables holding it in place were
cut.  Authorities haven't nailed the culprit yet but do have some clues,
including a shoe, compass, sunglasses and a can of beer that were dropped in
the impact.
