[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 1100784, member: 176362"] I dont see any alternative apart from letting 900 tons of soon to be scrap metal falling into the crater. The weight of the antenna is well beyond the lift capacity of any aircraft and they cant get workers onto the antenna framework to break it up a bit at a time due to the weakness of the support cables and the consequent danger to any work crew.
