WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A TOWER FALLS THE WRONG WAY


The former Ohio Edison Mad River Power Plant's 275-foot tower in Springfield came down on Wed., Nov. 10, but the blast knocked it the wrong direction. The tower was supposed to fall to the northeast, but ended up falling to the south — knocking down several nearby powerlines.

No one was injured from the tower falling the wrong way, but power was knocked out for more than 8000 customers when the smoke stack crushed several pieces of power equipment
Someone better go back to math class. But I have the answer to this problem. Tower + falling wrong way = FAIL
