Loran C tower knocked in Alaska

BBC News - Alaska's tallest structure demolished in explosion
I'm wondering if we will live to regret destroying an accurate back up system in the future?

Interesting, thanks for the link.
The article said it was deteriorating and at risk of collapse anyway.
But yeah, I agree, the U.S. military can degrade (or simply shut down) the entire GPS system at will and where would that leave us?
Still, I don't imagine there are many more LORAN receivers out there. I haven't used LORAN since about 1996.
