The Huston poles seemed to be light "towers"(not street lights) if they were, in fact, 200 feet high... Wouldn't we assume the larger tower would do MORE damage?

I'm going to take a guess here and assume the 200 foot light tower wasn't designed to "break away" like a regular street light.....I could be wrong.


edit add:
If they had a ring of lights around them, I'm familiar with them. We have them along I55 in chicago. Those things are huge. 200 feet seems about right. No wonder they caused more damage(besides the plane size differential) The lights are on a device meant to slide up and down the pole via a pulley system. This is to facilitate bulb changes.

another case closed.
