Have you ever taken down a tower?

Yes and don't ever take one down the way those guys just did. If there is too much tension on those guy cables, you will be missing some limbs at best.
You are supposed to cut the anchor head shaft.

My last tower fall was 10 years ago in Clio, MI. It was right along the interstate, had to have the state police shut the interstate down. Cut the anchor and she fell right where we planned.

There was a company that tried to take a 1000' tower down somewhere out west a few years ago. It's guy cables were intertwined with another tower. They did it wrong and ended up taking both towers down. I'll have to find that video.

Would love to see that if you find it.
