What you don't want to do is drop anything. Even a bolt or nut falling from 900 feet up can do nasty things when it hits something. There's a Virtual Railfan camera in Missouri that happened to catch a tower crew working on a radio tower near the train station when they dropped a large microwave dish. Fortunately, it missed all of the guy wires holding up the tower. If it had hit one, it might have brought the whole tower down, crew and all. Just weeks before I joined the Boston radio station where I was to spend more than twenty years, a truck backing into the parking lot caught a guy wire and took down a 350-foot tower. For years after that you could see scars in the pavement where it landed. Luckily, it was Saturday morning and the lot was empty. umar
