[TowerTalk] straightning bent tower section

[J. Kincade]

Assuming the section can be pulled out and transported, an auto
frame-straightening shop should have the precision hydraulic equipment to do
it. I'd be a little afraid of cracked welds, though, at this point. Too bad
magnafluxing and other forms of NDT are so expensive to do.
