That leaning oak in Richmond almost crushed my neighbor's shed

I was over on Maple Street in Richmond last spring removing a big red oak that had a lean I thought was manageable. Halfway through my top cut, the whole thing twisted unexpected and hung up on a smaller maple next to it. Took me 3 hours with a second climber and a winch to get it down safe without dropping it on the shed. Anybody else had a routine tree suddenly go sideways on them?

Ngl, I honestly think that lean should've been obvious from the start, not a surprise.

Man I had a buddy who called lean from day one, @sean_foster52.
