The Texas Towers.com
One of the most tragic tales to emerge from the Cold War took place on January
15th, 1961, when a nor'easter toppled one of the offshore Air Force listening
stations known as "Texas Towers" for their resemblance to oil platforms.
Designed to scan the skies for Russian bombers, Texas Tower number 4, 80
miles off the New Jersey coast, was a victim of poor design and planning.
Though was regarded as an engineering marvel, veterans who served on the
tower recall how it swayed in even moderate seas, making life aboard the
station, which normally housed 70 men, a constant challenge, And sheds light
on an overlooked aspect of the Cold War.
