David and Ian,
We had a documentary shown here in the states last winter on the efforts to
save the tower, showing how they had strapped it, braced it with steele
wires, weighted it down on one sode. The show made it look like a war between
all the "experts" and that a solution was not closeby. I m glad to hear that
they may indeed have figured out a way to work together and make it available
again. I wonder if they'll ever allow the public to actually climb it again.
I hope it won't be like the torch of the Statue of Liberty, etc.
OM comment: I froze..and I do mean FROZE..laying flat down on the pavement...
while out on the top balcony of the tower and had to be carried down
(thankfully I was a skinny 22 yr old...but the poor German gentleman that
threw me over his shoulder was quite put out when I then begged him to go
back and get my OM-1 which was left behind! He trudged all the way back up
there for my Oly!)
