Thanks to W0YR for catching this one:

After the cables inside a  cell tower caught on fire, this
video/still photograph sequence shows the  monopole bending 
over under an intense heat load. 

Then, stunningly, the tower rights itself when the fire 
department sprays water on the right spot - and the witnesses 
are dumbfounded.  Give  the guy on the hose a gold star even 
though the tower was a  total loss.
