==Disasters== The {{Proper name|[[KDUH/CH4 TV Mast]]}} was a guyed TV mast constructed near Hemingford in 1969 for TV transmitting, at {{coord|42|10|21|N|103|13|59|W|region:US-NE_type:landmark|display=inline}}. The tower collapsed on September 24, 2002, during reconstruction work.<ref name="Broadcast Engineering">[http://broadcastengineering.com/news/broadcasting_tower_collapse_claims/ Broadcast Engineering] "Broadcasting Tower Collapse Claims Two" September 30, 2002, 12:00 PM . Retrieved March 3, 2010</ref> Two tower workers, Lawrence A. Sukalec, 59, of [[Valier, Illinois]], and Daniel E. Goff, 25, of [[Sesser, Illinois]], were killed in the process, and three were injured on the ground. The collapse occurred as strengthening measures were being taken so the 30+ year-old tower could accommodate the added weight of digital television transmission facilities. Investigations later found that the contractors neglected to stabilize the tower while original structural components were being replaced with stronger ones. KDUH resumed full-power broadcasts one year later from [[Duhamel Broadcasting Tower Angora|a new tower]] near [[Angora, Nebraska|Angora]].
