But why did it collapse or why did I find it neat to watch LOl.
What sets me to wonder is a couple things #1 an unlikely scenario, it might have been planned to remove the tower. It could have gone like this although dangerous and unpredictable, 2 guys could have climbed the tower removed the bolts from 2 of the legs and waited for the wind to take care of the rest, #2 Another, it could have and most likely was unplanned. During erection the bolts were not torqued properly the buffeting winds loosened them until the fell out. The problem with this though is in order for a clean fall the last 2 remaining bolts would have had to have been on the opposite legs and probably would have had to shear or fall out at the same time. #3 A remote possibility exists where a couple of shape charges were placed on the legs and a guy just waited until the wind was just right before setting off the charges the tell tale evidence of the explosion was just not included in the video.
