Killer Trees

So far three people were killed by trees in the same place, which was Central Park,NY,NY. The first was an old guy I think he was sitting on a bench and it was snowing heavily that the tree snapped off because the weight of the snow and fell on him then he died. The next was an younger lady she was walking along the entrance of Central Park then a rotting branch fell on her then she died. The third was a baby, the family was taking a picture in the Central Park Zoo, the tree fell on the mother and child and then the child died .

My friend said this was a sign that the Apocalypse was near.

I think it's a sign that you're friend is crazy.

Thank goodness your friend doesn't live in Australia. Eucalypt trees are renown for shedding branches during summer, when they are under water/heat stress.

I never park/sit under them. It's so freaky to see a big tree suddenly drop a huge branch.

But then Australia is pretty Apocalyptic

Central park probably just needs a better maintenance crew.
