Moscow was selected as the host city of the 1980 Summer Olympics and the sailing events were held in Tallinn. The TV Tower was added to the list of Olympic sites. The construction of the TV Tower began in 1975 and it was completed just in time. Construction took a few months short of five years.
The TV Tower – Estonia’s highest building at 314 metres – had its grand opening on 11 July 1980 with all of the party functionaries of that era attending. The next day the water was cut off and it had no indoor plumbing until the next spring.
The viewing platform at a height of 170 metres was open to public until 26 November 2007, when it was closed as it no longer conformed to fire safety requirements. After a complete makeover, the tower will be reopened in spring 2012.
This was a three penny machine.
