Makes a difference if a Cat 4 hurricane is blowing! The demolition (in still
air) seemed to blow the guy wires and possibly the base. I didn't see any
explosions up the tower, though there may have been some. I think you could
cause a controlled collapse by blowing the top guys on one side, the second
set on another side, etc.
