The Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry later determined faulty welding was the cause of the collapse, according to an Oct. 18, 1993, Pioneer Press article.
The project was supervised by a company located in Oklahoma. “Safety concerns were raised during the installation and were many times rebuffed by the Oklahoma supervisors,” stated the failure analysis.
The tower was also a unique type of construction holding three vertical antennas on a triangular base 1,300 feet off the ground.
When the tower fell, a brother of a victim was working below and watched his brother falling, cut in two and still fastened with a safety belt to a piece of steel.
