If Siskin means KTHI TV-tower, she might be right. One would think this would be a simple question, but it seems that is not the case. http://www.xs4all.nl/~hnetten/tallest.html Dec 07 03, 8:37 PM

Answer - The Warszawa Radio Tower on the outskirts of Warsaw, Poland, was the tallest structure ever built. Although it needed to be supported by long cables to keep it up, the tower reached 646 meters (2,119 feet) into the air. Unfortunately, in August of 1991, the tower came crashing down during repair work... Dec 07 03, 10:09 PM

p.s. Whatever the name, it's actually between Clifford and Blanchard ND, about 20 mi from Fargo. 'Tho most of the sites do credit Fargo, convenience, I assume. p.p.s. Hamlet, your question says "What is" not was. Dec 09 03, 9:50 PM
