Mainly For Brummies But All Are Welcome To Join In The Birmingham Fun & Chat
Dutch radio tower collapses
This is the place where Brummies used to chat about Birmingham old and new along with anything else that interests us.
We have Quizzes, Pizzas, Local History, News, Politics, Wedding Cake, Plum Pudding, Champagne, Easter Eggs and, above all, Respect for our fellow members.
Very spectacular, though unfortunately the commentary is in dutch. I gather that no-one was hurt though. Lokks a bit suspicious to me, though thye say they haven't found the cause yet http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pla...aAU4I4kbg#at=20
The one bloke mentioned the air conditioning that cools the transmitter equipment in the pole, so perhaps it failed and the transmitters overheated. You would expect safety cutouts to be fitted to prevent it going this far though.
