TOW is a SACLOS wire-guided ATGM. The guidance system transmits corrective commands to the missile through the wire.
In [url=http://www.defense.gov/dodcmsshare/newsphoto/1998-04/980330-M-8902P-002.jpg][b]this[/b][/url] image you can see the wire. It's very faint, but you can see it.
Oh shit, so when it explodes it leaves a mile long string of wire laying there?

Pretty much. There are stories from the Yom Kippur War of Israeli tanks retreating from failed attacks against Egyptian positions with wires strewn over their turrets.
That's impressive, considering it detonated so high above it

According to an above post, this wouldn't be possible if it wasn't so high.
