A pipeline. Trump heard there was oil in heaven. He said to make it white so the angels will think it's a cloud.

I would expect it's probably a radio antenna, but of which particular variety beats me.

I can’t find anything suggesting it’s intended as an antenna, and I would think that the financiers would want to mention it if they could.

A lot of tower crews are contracted, because a business keeping one on the payroll is stupid expensive. The industry is actually shortstaffed last I heard, and those crews generally service a region. No idea why they'd have a whole team up the tower, but you get what you pay for, and if you're paying above contract for something to happen fast, well... :shrug:

Antenna towers tend to be hollow, to run lines up the inside and keep the lines from being exposed to the weather, which explains the massive pipe they're stacking.

Besides, what else are you going to put on top of a tall building in the middle of the city? :ssh: Property owners can lease antenna tower space and make money, which is useful if you're putting one up for yourself anyway.

I had my own OSHA experience this morning. I'm driving through downtown and a truck with a wide and tall load pulled down live wires all over me and everyone else near us. I gunned it and left the intersection but there's rubber marks all over my car and my antenna's beat to poo poo. But yay I didn't explode!

Utility level electric wires don’t usually have any rubber or plastic coating on them. It reduces heat dissipation which is usually the limiting factor in capacity. They probably pulled down phone and or cable wires.

Earlier discussion about the Russian nuclear missile incident and project Pluto got me reading about the Nevada test range on wiki and hoooh boy 1950's US nuclear testing was something else.

No warnings. Often the night sky would just light up.


And the fallout just being spread across Utah with the city of St George receiving the brunt of it. There was a noteable spike in cancer and tumors right up until the 90's.

quote:

On May 19, 1953, the United States government detonated the 32-kiloton atomic bomb (nicknamed "Harry") at the Nevada Test Site. The bomb later gained the name "Dirty Harry" because of the tremendous amount of off-site fallout generated by the bomb. Winds carried fallout 135 miles to St. George, where residents reported an oddly metallic sort of taste in the air.
