Falling the Big One!

"This is my partner's first big cedar. I came over to give him a hand. The tree is a true 15 foot diameter tree. We lucked out on it, as it was hollow in the middle and was pretty easy to cut down, other than wanting to pinch in the undercut and having to make a double window to reach all the holding that was keeping it up. Enjoy, I am sure this is one of the biggest trees you'll see on youtube being felled."

Witness here, humans without conscience.

Reminds me of the Far Side comic where the dad sits on the base of the fallen Redwood pointing at the rings for his son, "And here is where the tree miraculously survived another fire back in 1903."
-or something like that, if anyone can find a link to that one, post it below.

How long did it take for the tree to grow this large?

Coment from the original YouTube poster:
"Actually that tree probably took closer to a thousand years to grow! It has probably been dying for a hundred years. Did you know that it takes around 80 years for a fungus to grow on the outside of white wood softwoods (balsam, hemlock, etc...) once the tree has been infected? Maybe you should google bark beetle kill photos and see what we are trying to prevent. Whole mountain ranges of forests dead within a few years far as the eye can see"

Plz post pictures of your environmentally neutral house built from recycled plastic.
