Apart from being a palindromic prime number, it is unclear as to what there is about the {{wp|181 (number)|number 181}} that makes it so lucky. Maybe it's the tower, or its location. (But note the
number of times it's a {{wp|Centered polygonal number|centered polygonal number}}.)

Partly it's the location - since it's located sorta midway between termini, this tower gets the hour of the dead at the same time for the upline and the downline.
