It must have been a hairy crash, 'cause my ribs hurt!!

Having watched the salvage people haul my airplane away (they are NOT
careful in any way whatsoever), I would have liked to see how they
handled this one in the tree ... wonder how much is left of the tree.

I was doing a runup while it was partially removed. Today I noticed
that they cut off what may have been the trunk that held up the left
wing. Since I was going flying I did not stop to watch the process.
Since the plane was totaled anyway any additional damage was moot.
However, the engine may have been ok.

In some jurisdictions, depending partially upon the species of tree, the
tree may be legally protected--especially if it is on the site plan plot.
Thus unessary damage to the tree could cause liability to whoever did it
and/or whoever authorized it.

I suppose that on some level, all of that is hilarious, however I find the
'trees over people' concept quite annoying!
