WNOR Tower Demolition

Always been told that big towers will fall within a third of their height when dropped like that. Can see that one guy point was in the water.
We have a little AM station that was in Ocean City Maryland, WETT was the original call that went on the air back in the sixties. They had a tight pattern with four towers for the pattern that ran east west and a fifth tower to the north that was a phase cancelation tower. All of this was built in the marsh swamp between Ocean City and the main land.
Over the years one by one the towers guy points rotted out in the salt water swamp and towers kept falling over time. Couple years ago they were down to just two towers left and they turned in the license. They had run under a STA being unable to make pattern for the last ten or fifteen years. The big problem is back when they built the station it was all considered salt water swamp and useless property but in the last twenty years its now considered wetlands and protected and no one knew how to proceed with getting the necessary permits or locating contractors who would be able to repair the rotting guy points and replace the towers in today’s world.
Have to wonder if that station may run into issues being that close to the water?

WETT had three transmitters, a 1 Kw Collins Rock with all 4-400 tubes that disappeared about ten years ago, a real crapy Sparta that although it was purchased back in the seventies looked like it was designed in the forties and a Dog of a Harris SX-1 that I had replaced some of the PA panels in some year ago. Kind of hope they pushed that into the swamp and let it sink.
