As a reader, I want to have a sense of scale of the tower.
- 1over137 3y agoOf course. The scale is 200 feet, as described in the article. Maybe you want it in football fields?
- dredmorbius 3y agoSmoots.
- fbdab103 3y agoA picture is worth a thousand words. 200 feet tall and how thick are the bars? How many? Could I do it with a hacksaw or would I need a more intense torch? I want to visualize perpetrating the crime.
- ssl-3 3y agoIt's hard to correctly visualize something when the provided visuals are abhorrently wrong, though, isn't it? There's a world of difference between an old free-standing Long Lines tower and the straight-and-narrow guyed tower that actually disappeared, just as there is also a world of difference stature between Roseanne Barr and Gwen Stefani. A picture may be worth a thousand words, but each of those thousand words has negative value when they're simply wrong.
- TeMPOraL 3y agoYes, and what the wrong photo does is fuck with your sense of scale entirely. The included tower is more of an industrial installation; the real tower is more like something a couple drunk metal thieves could salvage in an evening.
- flaminHotSpeedo 3y agoAnd that photo totally fails to convey the scale. Pictures of the actual radio tower were posted elsewhere here and it's way smaller.
