Giving thanks nobody was hurt. Had rented a dozer to clear wooded property. The dead trees scared me the most . I had a buddy cut those down while I pushed out the stumps. He had to leave and later on I came face to face with an old oak that was very tall dead and straight. I raised the blade and got on the upside of the best path for it to fall and eased into pushing on it. The tree started going over the right direction that I wanted it too until it got to 45 degrees. Then the top of the trunk broke off about 30 feet up where it was rotted . The remaining 40 or so feet to the top had some vines in it connecting it to some other live trees. The remaining top 40 foot swung out away from the dozer and teetered on its newly broken base and perched there straight up and down for a second or two. By the grace of god and maybe a slight breeze it fell away from me and the dozer. I thanked my stars it fell away from me because it looked like it was going to come back on me in the cab. Needless to say i needed to change my pants after that!!
