The Cell Phone “Tower of Doom”
Orange mobile phone company agreed to remove its cell phone mast — dubbed the “Tower of Doom” — from the top of a five-story London apartment building after seven of its residents got cancer.
The cancer rate among those living on the top floor, where residents from five of the eight flats were affected, is 20 percent — 10 times the national average.
The mast, along with a second mast owned by Vodafone, was put up in 1994. Since then, residents have battled cancer, headaches and other health problems they say are caused by radiation from the masts. Three residents have died from cancer, while another four are still fighting the disease.
The World Health Organization and other agencies say there is no risk of radiation from cell phone masts, so the companies had no legal obligation to remove the masts.
In August 2007, after a long legal battle, Orange agreed to move the mast from the building — to another area near homes, a public library and a primary school.
Vodafone has no plans to remove their mast from the building, and is working on securing a new long-term lease.

We need to know the hazards before this happens. I am sad to learn of this, and even sadder to know we have cell phone towers embedded in the sides of buildings as well as in full view, and the general public is ignorant of not only where they are but what they can do. Toxic planet- Hell Planet for sure.
Cell phones truly are dangerous – especially for children; indeed, the human skull is only mature, fully thickened, at about the age of 25! Equally dangerous are cordless phones – the antenna is like having a mini-tower in Your home / office! Dangerous as well are computers, TVs / monitors, ipods and all hand-held devices.
We live in a “Sea of Radiation” and – fortunately – we have patented, university tested protection available. These protective devices have been tested and recognized by:
