Celltowers hitting people?

In the small town of Sudbury, MA (not very far from me), a Cingular (formerly AT&T) flagpole type celltower recently lost a few fiberglass panels during some very windy conditions. It amused me that the people who appeared on the local TV stated they felt that Cingular should remove the tower, because it was unsafe for their grandchildren (the tower is located a few hundred feet from their property). I love to see people capitalize on an isolated incident, and blow it out of proportion. The chances of being hit are slim, and they saw an opportunity for some bad publicity, and leaped on it. If a piece fell off their condo or house, do you think these people would demand that their house was removed. Check out this article from the local paper that covered the story.
