First time I ever heard of some one surviving a head on into a tower. 
Even in a small trainer they are going to be doing better than 80 to 100 
MPH.  That's an awfully quick stop in a very short distance...unless it 
was an ultralight. Even then I have a series of an ultralight hanging 
off the roof of a shed and the pilot did not survive.
