Illegal, thoughtless, near-lethal incompetence.

The tree 'surgeon' should be prosecuted.

That would have killed him outright if it had hit, some tonnes coming down there.

He's have been ok, he was wearing a helmet.

That's incredible
I hate all the excessive Health and Safety nonsense but that's evidently so dangerous ;surely any Moron could identify the potential risk there ............just outrageous.

Scarily incompetent and dangerous - but it doesn't even come close to this, which was done by an entire team of supposedly qualified engineers...



What you can't see out of shot to the right is that it demolished a row of houses, and even damaged one on the far side of the street which the larger crane fell across.

Astonishingly, no-one was seriously injured.

If you want to see the rest from different angles, just search for 'Dutch crane collapse' on Youtube...

The bass player in my gf's old band was killed whilst cycling in London. My gf had a collarbone broken by a hit and run by a taxi whilst cycling.

If that had been me on the bike, the tree feller would be in a coffin big enough to accommodate both himself and the chainsaw.

I used to live in Katwijk just up the road from Alphen aan de rijn a nice area of Holland.

I did  have an accident felling trees a long time ago once  I cut through the branch i was standing on

and when I fell I quickly slung the chainsaw out of harms way as I fell to the ground Luckily I was

uninjured
