  KXJB-TV mast - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The KXJB-TV mast is a television transmitting tower in North Dakota, and at 2060 ft (628 m) it is the second-tallest artificial structure in the world, shorter by 3 ft (1 m) than the KVLY-TV mast which stands a few miles away.
The second tower fell during an ice storm which hit the area on April 6, 1997, subjecting it to wind gusts of 70mph and causing at least four inches (100 mm) of ice to accumulate on the structure, resulting in the structure's failure at 6:09
Work began on replacement of the full-height tower with a more durably-built structure on April 1, 1998, and had reached the tower's previous height by July 30.
