That huge limb put all of the weight on one side. Any idiot could have seen what was going to happen without removing that weight.
I’m not a tree expert and even I was watching that thinking they should cut the huge branch off first because it’s going to fall backwards.

If they had insurance, they will be fine.

If they are as stupid as they look, I doubt they have much to lose.

I think they were driving a wedge into a backcut.
Yeah...the skid steer probably caused it to fall the way it did. I've seen big trees cut down like that and never used a skid steer to 'push' it. That basically just kicked the bottom out.

If they hire a good tree cutter like my man Jose, they would have no problems. Jose gets it done. Even 80 feet up.

That was fun, but not nearly as good as the video of that dude who dropped a loblolly on that neighborhood house in Texas a few years ago.
FUUUUUUCK! WHAT THE........ FUUUUUUCK!
Yes. This is the best

And this is why you always check to make sure your tree removal guy has insurance.

Wasn’t me.
When in doubt, climb it out.

I didn’t check documents
The boss man is legal, good enough for me

That’s what I was thinking. Mexicans ain’t got time for that shite. I saw a crew of 5 put together a prefab barn years ago and I think it took them all of 30 minutes from start to finish
My neighbor wanted a pool...but the access on either side of the house wouldn't allow for heavy equipment to get into the back yard. "No problem" said the pool guy...a couple days later a literal dump truck pulls up, filled with probably 20 Mexican guys with shovels...those crazy bastards dug an entire pool in 3 days BY HAND.

Deeper face cut with a Humboldt notch, leave more hinge wood and a better rope would’ve got that tree right where we, the viewers, wanted it. On the house on the right.

My friend and I cut a dead oak off my property line just about that size using the same method. It worked, but the neighbor who showed up because of the sound of the saw told us we should use a steel cable, like a winch cable, not rope because of exactly what happened here.
In our case only a fence line was at risk, not a house.

One Sunday afternoon my neighbor has an Asian guy with an electric chain saw working on a tree. Straight cut! Guy sawed through and the tree wouldn’t fall I’m videoing the shite show me hen hopsing drives a Nissan Morano into the backyard and proceeds to attach a ratchet strap to tree coupled on front bumper. No need for his helper to continue holding the dolla general rope tied 6’ up tree. Me I’m ready to dial 911 and ask them to send the body wagon for this dude but it eventually fell.
