[TowerTalk] Fwd: Sad day - W9ZUC tower accident

[Hans Hammarquist via TowerTalk]

Maybe we should have ARRL to look into t hat. I would not like even to be sued over that. From my point of view the pilot should have been responsible for the destruction of the tower. Obviously the pilot didn't take needed care. If that was me driving into a tower there would be no questions whose fault it was.

The minor annoyance of keeping tied off doesn’t seem like a big deal when 
something like this happens.


A bit farther down the site is an article about a wrongful death lawsuit for an 
unlighted tower less than 200 ft. high. Seems that even following the FAA rules 
does not protect you. It talks about agricultural and meteorological towers, but 
I can see this including our stuff as well.
