[TowerTalk] KFI Tower in Los Angeles Collapses...

[Dino Darling]

I've left messages out here about being able to work on the KFI tower in a 
limited capacity.  Today a light aircraft hit the tower or one of the guy 
cables bringing the 750' tower to the ground.  Both passengers in the plane 
were killed.  Its reported that they were inbound from El Monte when they 
hit the structure.  Nobody on the ground was hurt.  I witnessed one 
building being damaged and I'm told that there is a hole in a roof of 
another building.  I'll be going back there this afternoon and will keep 
the group posted on what is discovered.  When I left there this morning, 
they still had not removed the bodies and the next of kin had arrived.  KFI 
is on the air at 22.5KW on their 250' back up tower.
