Perhaps the lightning "sensed" somehow that the AM towers, 
with their underground grids, were a more substantial "path to
ground" than the taller FM tower was. Only guessing, I really 
have no idea. Another possibility is perhaps the lightning may
have hit the taller old FM tower first with no operational effect,
then bounced to the AM towers. I guess you had to be there...
