Mast Falls - Teresa Cowie

From Afternoons, 1:15 pm on 16 February 2016

It's been a big day for the RNZ transmission department today. A huge AM radio mast - nearly 200 metres tall - was brought down with explosives this morning. The mast at Titahi Bay, north of Wellington, was suffering with some quite serious corrosion and had become a potential safety hazard.
