Texas Tower 4
Texas Tower 4 (ADC ID: TT-4) is a former United States Air Force Texas Tower General Surveillance Radar station, located south-southwest off the coast of Long Island, New York in of water. The tower was the site of a tragic accident and was destroyed by a winter storm on January 15, 1961. None of the twenty-eight airmen and civilian contractors who were manning the station survived.〔http://www.thetexastowers.com/04-TheLocations/index.html〕
Texas Tower 4 was one in a series of manned radar stations that were so named because they resembled the oil-drilling platforms of the Gulf of Mexico. Air Defense Command (ADC) estimated that the Texas Towers would help extend contiguous East Coast radar coverage some 300 to 500 miles seaward. In terms of Soviet military capabilities, this would provide the United States with an extra 30 minutes of warning time in the event of an incoming bomber attack.
