Ridgewood NJ, Oak Street, Ridgewood. Huge tree limb drops from crane onto tree service truck. A major disaster was narrowly averted .No injuries were reported but the truck sustained heavy damage.
remind me not to hire these guys!
Glad humans were not hurt however it seems like the tree screamed back at her killers. So many big trees are being cut all over town and nobody gives a sh!t. Most are done by developers, the others by clueless homeowners who do not want to deal with leaves in the fall and go for the “recommendation” that the tree is sick and may fall given by tree “experts”. I really liked Knudsen proposal a couple of years back about needing a permit to cut trees over 8″ in trunk size. But it was struck down.
Those healthy oak limbs are extremely heavy.
Holy shit, very lucky no one got hurt.
