When I worked for a small school district, all of our school sites were connected through point-to-point wireless. So all the schools had towers on the roofs. I think the highest off the ground we ever got was about 100 feet, and that was on a tower that was on top of the multi-purpose room. The tower itself was only maybe 40-50 feet, and when the wind blew, it swayed... quite a bit. My stomach was cringing just watching that video, I can't imagine what it would be like with wind up there.
