SHOREVIEW, Minn., Sept. 7 (UPI)—Seven men were killed today when a new, 1,375‐foot television tower collapsed and crashed through part of a transmitter building below.
On the morning of September 7, 1971, while being constructed, the tower suddenly collapsed – “bent like spaghetti,” according to eyewitnesses.
