Why I want to go to this place
This is the world’s tallest man-made structure on the Earth.
The KVLY-TV tower, 2,063 feet high, serves an area larger than the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Connecticut, with 1,000 square miles to spare. from http://www.kvlytv11.com/info/info_tower.html
The mast was surpassed in height by 18 m (57 ft) in 1974 by the Warszawa radio mast near Konstantynów, Poland, but the latter collapsed on August 8, 1991, making the KVLY mast again the tallest structure on land. from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KVLY-TV_mast
Its overall height above mean sea level is 926 m (3,038 ft). Some time after its completion, the Federal Aviation Administration imposed a limit of 2,063 ft, based on this tower’s height, on future construction; consequently, no taller structures may legally be built in the U.S. at present.
