Tree shatters,falls apart, something other than exploding ! at Thompson Park

Original 1899 Thompson Park trees being cut down due to woodpecker damage.

[@robertshrewsbury5067]

What I like, is not just the careful work, but the sounds of a good dad and the interest of a future tree trimmer.

[@robgrogg2546]

Thanks!! He was very patient waiting for it to be cut.

[@small-town-southern-man3573]

Careful work? I didn’t see any careful work. I saw a lot of luck.

[@mahoniLampungwood]

Wow..amazing

[@lonniebrunner483]

Where's the explosion????

[@DavidN23Skidoo]

Where's the kaboom?

[@danerickson1632]

That was nothing compared to the big dead fall cedar trees we fell back in the eighties. 6ft or more at the base and hundreds of feet tall. When the whole tree out in the woods was cut and notched at the base, when it fell and hit the ground your whole body and the ground movement was a huge adrenaline rush

[@robgrogg2546]

I could imagine!

[@threefortytwo23]

EPIC!!!!

[@galewinds7696]

THAT was an exploding tree? Need bigger firecrackers 🧨 😫.

[@robgrogg2546]

This is laughable. Where to start? No hard hat. No 5 point harness. No glasses. That notch is way to small for that diameter. He planted the tip into the ground. Just awful all around.

[@jamesmordovancey517]

Disappointing.

[@gr8dvd]

"Woodpecker damage" can you explain, I got a ton of them taking interest in 2 trees … and occasionally my metal antenna (that cured by mini scarecrow).

[@robgrogg2546]

I don't know the whole background. The tree is at our local park. From my understanding they had some sort of infestation that made the woodpeckers more interested in them.

[@gr8dvd]

@@robgrogg2546 That sounds right, bugs in damaged/compromised wood attracting woodpeckers

[@MassiveBrainTrauma]

It was like a Michael Bay movie!🍿

[@coreyhathaway2202]

Tree service employee not wearing a hard hat or protective gear. Not smart

[@bman6065]

Pretty common depending on where you go

[@small-town-southern-man3573]

Who can afford a hard hat? Personal safety is overrated….or not. Several things wiring with this scenario. He’s lucky nothing was damaged.

[@DanielCoffey67]

I bet the owners are glad that is down!

[@robgrogg2546]

They are especially the park supervisor.

[@bman6065]

Not very eventful.
