Re: [IRCA] WBIG 1280 Aurora, ILL



Here's a picture from Fybush.com:
http://gallery.bostonradio.org/2004-10/ord-oct-9/100-02412-lrg.html

It appears it's the taller tower in the center of the picture that they
crashed into. See the site for an explination of what towers are there.

It wasnt an actual AM tower they crashed into from what I can tell by
reading the news.
