Wow, Built in 1953 what a Tower
Wow, Built in 1953 what a Tower
I had a guy that wanted a 50 foot steel ham antenna on a house I bought. He was an Air force antenna jockey. Climbed up it and took it down section by section, lowering with a rope. Even 50 feet like that freaked me out!
In my younger days , I climbed a few 100' + and carried/installed antennas, stacking kits, rotors, cabling, guy wires, etc. it was kind of unnerving working 20-25' about the last set of guy wires

Looking at these tall structures brings to mind a question that I have had for a while. No building will last forever and will eventually need to be removed. Most are either torn down or imploded. So what do you do with very tall buildings in a dense urban area? When the twin towers came down they came straight down with the floors pancaking one on top the other but the rubble covered ten blocks in all directions. So a building that large is obviously too large to be imploded. So how do you remove a building like that when it deteriorates to the point where it is unsafe? Would the only way be to start at the top with cutting torches and cut it apart piece by piece and lower the pieces to the ground by cranes in a reverse of the way it was built? It seems like it would cost a nine figure amount to dismantle something that big. There are not buildings in the world that are much taller that the twin towers were and they are in dense urban areas where implosion is not an option for something that big. So how would it done?
May have been, I seem to recall, he, Smooth, BJ, Papa and a couple others around 144-150'
I was fighting the fire at Smooth's house and scared the tower would fall on us
