REDFIELD, Ark. - A 2,000-foot television tower that was once the second-tallest structure in the world collapsed Friday while workers were restringing guy wires, knocking two Little Rock-area television stations off the air.

One person suffered a minor injury when the tower collapsed in a field about 20 miles south of Little Rock, said Randy Dixon, new director at ABC affiliate KATV.

The collapse also knocked out the analog signal of KETS, a Public Broadcasting Service affiliate in the Arkansas Educational Television Network. AETN said it could be several days before its analog signal was restored.

The National Weather Service said winds were light about the time of the collapse.

1. Maybe that UFO

that folks in Stephenville saw ran into it and knocked it over.
Good reason to issue drivers licenses to aliens, keep stuff like this from happening.
