No, it wasn't put there to hold the Towercam
Nor was the pointy thing on top of the Empire State Building meant to hold radio, television, and cellphone transmitters, as it does now. As expected, the answer showed up in the comments area for my day-before-yesterday post featuring the Empire State Building partially obscured by clouds. Thanks to Buddy Don for guessing, and thanks to Mala for posting the answer: yes, it's a dirigible mast.
And on a completely different subject, did you see the live coverage of Al Gore's speech today? I tried to watch, but only MSNBC carried it, and only for a few minutes before they started talking over him. Since the television networks couldn't bring themselves to cover it, we will.
You can watch it here (and click on "watch the speech") or read it here.
Can you find anything in that speech that is not factual? If so, please use the comments field for this post to enlighten us.
