Ex-record-holding TV tower topples
From Times Wire Reports
A 2,000-foot television tower that was once the second-tallest structure in the world collapsed while workers were restringing guy wires, knocking two Little Rock-area TV stations off the air.
One person suffered a minor injury when the tower collapsed in a field about 20 miles south of Little Rock, said Randy Dixon of ABC affiliate KATV.
At the time it was completed in the mid-1960s, the KATV tower was the second-tallest structure in the world, behind a 2,063-foot TV tower in North Dakota.
