That happened to me once with a 2 1/2 foot diameter eastern white pine. They seem to fall slowly when you are far away, or perpendicular to the fall. But, when it’s coming at you, they move real quick! I dove into the snow, and a couple of huge branch stubs (which would have gone right through me) were on either side, holding up the trunk. No harm, no foul, right?
I wonder if the engineers were educated in a school of engineering within a college of engineering or were educated in the department of engineering education within the education department or liberal arts studies department.

The text says that no one knows what went wrong. I’m guessing the problem was the building fell the wrong direction.
Probably the same people that designed that bridge in Florida.
“That’ll buff right out.”
