Fear of a hidden failure: a radio operator heard "We're breaking up" on January 15, 1961, after a steel radar platform vanished from radar in under forty minutes sixty-three miles south-southeast of Long Island. Twenty-eight men were aboard; only two bodies were recovered, and the platform had shown dangerous vibration since a tow in June 1957 - what decision then doomed them all?
In this episode, we tell how Texas Tower Four was built, moved, crewed and ultimately lost, tracing the damage that began on June 28, 1957 and the events that ended on January 15, 1961 - could a single towing decision three and a half years earlier explain the disaster?
Person: 28 men aboard (14 Air Force personnel and 14 civilian contractors)
Date: January 15, 1961
Location: 63 miles south-southeast of Long Island (Unnamed Shoal)
Event: Platform vanished from radar in under 40 minutes
Depth: wreck sits 185 feet down marked by one NOAA buoy
- At 6:45 PM on January 15, 1961 a coastal radio operator received the distress words "We're breaking up" and then silence.
- Texas Tower Four vanished from radar in under 40 minutes with 28 men aboard; only 2 bodies were recovered.
- The wreck remains on the ocean floor at 185 feet depth and is marked by a single NOAA buoy.
- Construction began December 1956 in South Portland, Maine by J. Rich Steers, Inc. and Morrison-Knudsen, Inc.
- On June 28, 1957 two or possibly three diagonal support braces shifted during a tow, and the platform was nevertheless erected with the plan to repair it later.
