On Monday 18th October at 11:00 AM Massive Engineering Mistakes, on Quest HD channel 144 Sky, Freeview 12HD, Freesat 172/167HD, Virgin 169 shows the aftermath of the mast collapse and the building of its concrete replacement.

I always thought it was due to ice on the wire supports but apparently vortex shedding caused the mast to vibrate.

If the program is available on the internet, it's S2, episode 7.
