Local news reports that WBIG 1280kHz, Aurora, IL had a medical helicopter clip and break one of the tower guy wires. The helicopter crashed nearby killing four people. This happened around midnight.
There is some concern about the 700ft+ tower stability and officials have evacuated some residents living close to the tower. The station is still on the air, listening to their signal as I type this. WBIG tower is located about 20 miles due north of my location and years ago I could see the tower lights from home. Since that time new housing developments between here and there block the view.
