Newton police and firefighters teamed up tonight to arrest two men who may have been trying to climb a 1,000-foot radio tower on Chestnut Street in Newton.
Ted Pendergast reports rescue crews arrived shortly before 9:30 p.m. Firefighters got the two men to the ground around 9:40 p.m.
Boston Radio Watch reports it's the same tower from which a worker fell some 1,000 feet last October. It houses the main transmitters for SportsHub 98.5 and Jamn 94.5, as well as backup transmitters for a number of other local stations.

Flashback!
I grew up very near there. During early HS, a friend and I did, in fact, climb that tower.
'course, that was during the early-mid 70s, when kids did stuff like that and Homeland Security wasn't called.
Homeland Security didn't
Homeland Security didn't exist in the 70's. Duh.
FYI
It's known as "Contrast and Compare," not a suggestion HS existed decades ago.
Duh back to ya.

How about...
"You move like a baboon with 2 club feet." :)
Chiun
The correct spelling.
(I've been waiting twenty-five years to find a use for whatever knowledge I gained via reading about fifty of the "Destroyer" books upon which the movie was based. Thank you!)
