Broadcast Tower Hoogersmilde (Netherlands) down due to fire.

First there was a fire in the 300m IJsselstein (lopik) tower, some
hours later there was a fire in the "Smilde" tower (also about
300m/980ft).

The construction (Smilde tower) couldn't resist the heat and
collapsed, see the video.

Now 80% of the Netherlands can't get national radio over the air (as
the Lopik tower is still inoperative because of investigation).
