first of all, it is not MY evidence, and secondly, it does not only show what happens why a car hits it. It shows that the walls of the base, if acted upon by a large enough force, would fail long before that force could be extended to the bolts.

It shows that the base of the pole is DESIGNED TO FAIL, to absorb more of the force of the impact, and to do less damage to the object impacting it.


If the object were to impact the base, which is the case with car impacts, but would not be the case with aerial impacts.

it shows that the bolts, for lack of a better term, WILL NOT FAIL, PERIOD.


Those must be some pretty strong bolts. I don't know of any bolts which can avoid failure under any possible circumstance.

The only difference between the car and the airplane would be the area of the pole impacted.


And the speed of the impact, both important considerations.

look up
 
if hit near the top portion of the pole, the base would feel this impact before the bolts, and because they are weaker, would fail before the bolts failed, thus leaving damage not consistent with the available photos of the poles.


Do you have an example of the damage which would be caused by a hit near the top portion of the pole? (or is this based solely on your opinion?)
