Radio transmitter tower collapses

PALANGKA RAYA, Central Kalimantan: A 50-year-old man was killed when a radio transmitter tower in Babayaga, the only private radio station in Sampit, Central Kalimantan, collapsed Saturday afternoon.

The 75-meter tower fell on the house where Achari was taking a nap, Antara reported yesterday.

Strong winds, which have swept through the town the last several days, have been blamed for the tower's collapse as well as for dozens of big trees being knocked down. (swe)
