I drive by these towers about once a month, seeing them progress out of the ground. State Highway 130 runs near my neighborhood and is considered a "utility corridor". I saw these towers as they were staged and prepped for wire pulling. IMO, someone miscalculated the wire pull stresses. The media hasn't reported a cause, except to say the wind was 40MPH...
