SHOREVIEW — It has been 45 years since the Shoreview TV tower collapse that left seven workers dead the day after Labor Day in 1971.
This sequence of six nines is sometimes called the “Feynman point”, after physicist Richard Feynman, who allegedly stated this same idea in a lecture. However it is not clear when, or even if, Feynman made such a statement. It is not mentioned in published biographies or in his autobiographies, and is unknown to his biographer, James Gleick.
