Texas Tower 4: The Offshore Fortress That Collapsed Into the Atlantic The Texas Tower program was meant to be a triumph of Cold War engineering — a chain of offshore radar fortresses built to detect Soviet bombers long before they reached American shores. Tower 4, nicknamed “Old Shaky,” was supposed to withstand hurricanes, pounding surf, and everything the Atlantic could unleash. 👍 Like, Share & Subscribe If you enjoy stories of maritime disasters, lost structures, and Cold War mysteries, subscribe for more deep-dive documentaries uncovering the secrets beneath the waves. 💬 Join the Conversation Was Texas Tower 4 doomed from the start, or could the disaster have been prevented?
