Wow, It sounds like it happened while they were driving and hit a bump or something.
Ouch
But wait it gets better http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqY7b4JpJMw remember kids, this is NOT how we remove trees Seems like the genius did not take the hint when the line snapped, oooh no get another line and go again
Haha nice video. They planned that, it's all loaded up now, ready to haul away. Some people just don't have common sense.
Haha, at least nobody got hurt.
Should this just be basic math or geometry?
Here's the senario; 4 guys sitting around drinking, one guy says he's hired a professional to cut tree down, friend says why? We can do it! We will save you a bunch of money , it will only take a minute. Get your cumalong and truck! 30 foot tree , truck parked 15 feet from it to pull over, hmmmm what could go wrong?! What idiots.
from looking at the second pic in the first post the rebar was dragging on the ground as well. The needed to cut the rebar in half and use their truck, or find a longer truck.
