Calling an 1100-foot tower "the world's second-highest steel tower" is a
little questionable to me.  What do they make the 2000' towers at Walnut
Grove, CA, and in North Dakota, Kansas and other places, out of?

The KVLY-TV mast (formerly the KTHI-TV mast) is a television transmitting 
mast in North Dakota, USA, used by Fargo station KVLY channel 11. At 2,063 
ft (628.8 m), it is currently the world's tallest supported structure on 
land.

The mast was surpassed in height by 18 m (57 ft) in 1974 by the Warszawa 
radio mast near Konstantyn?w, Poland, but the latter collapsed on August 8, 
1991, making the KVLY mast again the tallest structure on land. If completed 
as planned, the UAE's Burj Dubai, presently slated for completion in 2008, 
will surpass the mast as the tallest land structure.

The Kiev TV Tower (Ukrainian: ??????????? ????, Televiziina vezha; Russian: 
???????? ?????????, Kievskaya telebashnya) is a 385 meter high lattice steel 
tower built in 1973 in Kiev, Ukraine for radio and television broadcasting. 
***It is the tallest free standing lattice steel construction in the 
world.[1]***

Tokyo Tower ( T?ky? taw??) is a tower in Shiba Park, Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan 
( 35?39?31?N, 139?44?44?E). It is 332.6 m (1091 ft) tall[1], making it one 
of the world's highest ***self-supporting**** steel towers and the tallest 
man-made structure in Japan.


World's highest swing

The world's highest swing has been set up on an 1,100ft TV tower in China.
The swing is set on a 700ft high viewing platform on the tower in Harbin 
city, Heilongjiang province.
Participants sit on the steel seat and swing out over the city, beyond the 
edge of the platform.
The swing is called "Game for brave people", reports Harbin Daily.
The tower is the world's second-highest steel tower, after the Kiev tower in 
Ukraine.
