Exclamation Weeping willow and owner

Take a look at this footage as a colleague is taking down a willow.
Any comments?

Hahaha

That was a pretty ambitious lowering attempt.

Hey, that wasn't Jim1NZ was it?

Anyway, I saw some boats there so you'd be able to tow it off downstream!

My money says it's Jim.

How much do you reckon that big lump weighed?

At least it didn't bust anything, just ended up in the water ... habitat log!

Why do things only fall in the water in winter?

8 ton's vanglijn breuk
My guess on the above description is 8 ton breaking strain???

Heavy log + freefall + shockload + nowhere to let it run for a bit = the above result.

Shoulda just kept on blocking down.
