Joe Spins the Globe | The tallest structure in the Western Hemisphere! (KVLY Tower) @JoeSpinstheGlobe | Uploaded August 2020 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
Ever heard of the KVLY TV mast? It was the tallest structure in the world for 40 years*, and still checks in as the tallest in the Western Hemisphere. There are no signs or markers nearby denoting its status; it simply stands in the middle of crop fields in rural North Dakota, and requires driving down two dirt roads to access.
*except for the years it was exceeded by the Warsaw radio mast, 1974-1991 (collapsed)
