Pretty sure this isn't a part of the usual event where this happens, largely because the ladder and fuse box are still very much there.
0.9 introduced a bug where, indeed, the ladder and fuse box were still present during the missing radio tower event. It was MEANT to be fixed in 0.9b.
Ah, got'cha. I didn't think the event was active 'cause I never got the e-mail that brings attention to it.
