This tree tipped over at its base. It may be that the roots girdled the tree and tipping over was inevitable. Tree experts and city foresters will tell you that many trees have been planted wrongly. See next post for more on that.
This tree landed on a chain link fence. It did not do much good for the fence. I think there may be some damage to the house also. You can see different views of the base of the tree trunk. It would be interesting to have the city forester look at these different trees and speculate on why some trees toppled while others held their ground.
At least the two boys found that a tree is much easier to climb when it is close to the ground!
