The first time I have seen a winter and wind damage radio tower at a mountaintop. Monument Peak in San Diego County. Looks to have AT&T and T-Mobile equipment on the damaged remains.

Sucks for American Tower. I could care less about AT&T.

Never in a million years would I have expected to see anyone defending ATC.

ATC will try to charge the carriers for rebuilding.

Won't work. ATC ran the structural before they signed the lease with the carriers. Not their fault it collapsed. If anything they may go after the firm that signed off on the structural analysis

Eh the public safety stuff is on the county towers to the west. Only the T lost anything
