The aviation obstruction lights at the top of a Houston radio tower involved in a helicopter crash have had a history of malfunctioning, leading to serious safety concerns.
SkyEye reporter Don Armstrong expressed concerns about the tower's lights being out frequently, stating that unless someone knows the tower is there, it's almost invisible against the downtown skyline.
Surveillance footage of the crash shows at least one light on the tower was operational during the incident, but it's uncertain if they were functioning adequately.
The investigation into the helicopter crash is underway, with officials focused on the lighting issues reported just days before the tragedy.
