Radio station declines the plea to put up extra lighting, because it is
not
required, while pilots say it is needed.


Does this extra lighting have some kind of repulsor effect that would have
prevented aircraft from striking the tower?

The tower was charted. It's presence was made known in the A/FD. It had
proper markings and lights. This accident happened because the pilot flew
in the vicinity of the tower below the altitude of the tower. If you don't
fly in the vicinity of the tower at or below the charted altitude you cannot
hit the tower.



Two people then the said antenna, and are killed.

The radio station not wanting to spend the money, costs two people their
lives, very possibly. And you say this is not a moral issue?


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