Of course, we all screw up.   You should join in the pile on though, it’s warranted.   If there’s a risk of a tree going across a road you should at least stop the traffic, however

Lots to go wrong with felling Lombardy, specially if theres any decay.   good point about using the buttress roots, but you know as well as I do 90% of tree surgeons don’t know how to fell p

True , if your ever winching or pulling over a tree you have to be pulling directly infront of the back lean and weight, a lot of folk think you can come from the side and pull it in to a gap .. even

Saw the new angle on FB (what I presume you tried to post)

Saw trapped quite early into the back cut.
Maybe a hollow centre? he started the other side too close to the hinge and when he got to this side it was all that was holding it. 
looked like a fair bit of back/side lean.

I was trying to post the doorbell footage. It shows the tree landing dead centre between the piers of the driveway. Would have been stunt fell material if the defender wasn't there! 

Yeah, trees didn't look too good, no excuse though. Mewp onsite, should have had a rope on.
