Anyone ever do this?

know a "contractor" that does all sorts of different jobs. Demolition, horizontal grinding, concrete etc. Recently he had three of his guys removing a Pine. The crew leader who I know, he's no kind of crew leader and shouldn't be on a tree crew. The climber was blocking down the trunk and he told the climber to come down because he thought the 3/4 of the way cut was going to hit the climber? I don't the circumstances, diagnal cut maybe? Well, the crew started his notch at the base while another pushed with a bobcat. The cut piece above fell on the crew leader's head and shoulders and back. He's alive but frigged up. Look I've done some work with these guy's and I not surprised for one second. I'm glad he's going to be ok. Nobody could ever tell this guy anything so maybe this will slow him down.

He sounds like a maroon, for sure.

That sounds like the same story I heard the other day from my friend Greg Liu. He was in New Orleans doing post Katrina clean up and a kid came down out of a tree and they pushed the stub over with a Bobcat. Chunk came down and hit the kid.

Long story short.

Somebody wasn't paying attention to the details on that job.

There are a ton of post Katrina tree accidents. This one of course did happen in New Orleans so it's very possible it's the same one.
See Jerry, I do post once in awhile.

Hi MB.

I was checking out old threads now that I'm a member, and the pics don't show up in this one. Wonderin why.

It seems like a real interesting topic.

Hey Cory, we had a forum software crash last year that wiped out all of the saved pictures and most of the old threads. A lot of good stuff was lost.

Wow. Bummer! But thanks for the info.

MB if you ever feel like reposting the pics, I'm all ears (and eyes).

Heck, I don't know where I stashed those pics. Did anyone save them?
