did they remove the towers did they damage anything .i dont understand
what the issue is here .
was the tower something you were going to resale and didnt want them
droped . can ya clear that upo so the issue becomes clear .
if all you wanted was them down who cares how they did it..
as long as no damage was done..
grant ya id think twice at cutting a tower lose for the free fall.
