The towers still stand—but without their tops

A preliminary assessment of the scene shows that the tops of all three platforms were sheared off as a result of the structural breakdown and that falling debris, including the support wires, landed outside the area of the dish. The learning center located near Tower 12 appears to have sustained “significant damage,” according to the NSF. That all three support towers are still standing is fortunate, as it was feared a collapse of the towers would damage buildings nearby.
