The tower was charted. It's presence was made known in the A/FD. It had

hit the tower.

I say the moral of the story is don't fly into towers.


Do you even fly? I don't see how a pilot could say that could never
happen to me. All it takes is one mistake, a moment of inattention.
All pilots make mistakes from time to time.

And the tower is near an airport, so you have to fly in the vicinity
of the tower below its altitude if you are going to takeoff or land.


And people have been flying near that tower for something like 70 years.

Don't blame others for your own incompetence.
