Copters Sent To Lift Men Off Towers
A squadron of five Navy helicopters was ordered to evacuate three men from Texas Towers I and III near Cape Cod as the towers were dismantled amid 40 mile per hour winds and heavy seas. Coast Guard ships moved in while Lipsett Inc. coordinated the operation, with one earlier helicopter failing to reach the tower due to lost bearings. The push followed a 1961 disaster memory of a Texas tower collapse near New Jersey.
