"It's a very sad story and we didn't want to put any extra
pressure on her or extra grief. She didn't need that but it's done
now and we are trying to do better."

for the North Carolina-based company SpectraSite, owners of a
broadcast tower destroyed after it was hit by a Cessna three years
ago. Pilot Gilbert Paquette's body hung in the wreckage at the top
of the tower for five days before the tower itself was demolished
by workers who recovered the aircraft. The upshot is, under
Canadian law, SpectraSite doesn't have to sue, as long as three
broadcasters whose signals emanated from that tower continue their
legal battle with Paquette's widow and three children. If they win,
SpectraSite wins.
