Likely you actually broke the tab long, long ago.  It was only hanging by a 
thread, and that gave the separated parts time to rust.  This recent lowering 
was what finally did it in.  Definitely call UST tomorrow and see what you can 
do; Any company worth their salt should stand behind that since it is clearly 
poor welding.

## Obviously this was a fubar welding job.   Question is, why didn’t UST X ray 
the welds for the base ?    Ok, I can see not X raying every weld on each tower 
section, but at least do the critical welds, like the base,
and where the plates are for the pulleys. 

##  UST should make good on this, since they like to brag about their welding 
process and expertise and certified welders and QC etc.
