The Shukhov Towers on the Oka River in Russia, the world’s only diagrid hyperboloid transmission towers.
Pictured in 1988, only one stands today because the entire left tower was stolen, Carmen Sandiego style, in 2005.

elon musk at cpac was so fucking weird you guys I know this reads like a parody but I literally just wrote down what happened www.theverge.com/elon-musk/61...
