The loss of Texas Tower Four demonstrates the disasters that
can occur when a flawed structure encounters the tremendous power
of the ocean. The tower was one of three manned radar platforms
off the US Atlantic coast numbered Two, Three, and Four (One and
Five were planned but never built). The tower, part of the
nations air defense system, "was such a spectacular sight that
ocean liners veered off course to permit passengers to glimpse
it" [TexasTowersRD, p. 95].
Because it was a lonely post, the interior of each tower had
libraries, gyms, and rec rooms. Music, movies, and even a daily
ration of beer helped entertain the crew.
