“We know there’s transmission lines in the river, we know it fell toward the river, but we don’t know whether or not a part of the structure is actually in the river itself,” Valiente said. The tower is at the Avondale transmission station, he said. There is “widespread” damage on both the east and west bank of the river at this substation. The tower which collapsed is on the west bank, Valiente said.“In the first photograph you can see the tower in place, you can actually see it twisting… and the next photograph, the tower’s gone, so it just collapsed,” Valiente said.
