I've never seen an entire tower fall over like that, that's kinda terrifying.

Me neither! I wonder what caused it. Looks like maybe some bolts came off the feet? Since normally there would be huge concrete pads that they are connected to.

Apparently there's some rumours going around that they were doing some maintenance work on the pole when it happened. Don't know how true it is though.
