Original Toronto Star caption: How many Torontonians does it take to change a light bulb? While thousands of people watched yesterday, the flashing red light atop the 1,815-foot-high CN Tower was replaced with a 200,000-candlepower flashing strobe light. Because the 28-pound, 36-inch-high light was too big to bring up through the antenna it was lowered in a bucket from a helicopter hovering about 20 feet above. At upper right, the Jet Ranger from Toronto Helicopters of Buttonville lowers the bucket containing the strobe. At right, workers Lorne Treleaven and Dave Melanson anchor it in place. Inset is bird's-eye view of operation and tower from the helicopter. Charge for changing the light bulb - $14,000.
