WOR TV Tower

The WOR TV Tower was a 760-foot-tall (230-meter) lattice tower used for FM- and TV-broadcasting by WOR-FM and WOR-TV at North Bergen, New Jersey, USA.

At the time of its construction, it was the tenth-tallest man-made structure in the world.

[2] At the beginning of 1953, FM transmissions were stopped and TV transmissions were moved to the Empire State Building, but the tower remained standing.

On November 8, 1956, the top of the tower was hit by a Beechcraft Model 18, which knocked off the tower's top; the plane subsequently crashed and killed four people.
