I saw this this morning and wondered why you would call someone in the middle of a cut.

the caller heard the tree crack and saw go idle, not the 911 operator.

Article wasn't too clear, but the caller was not the feller apparently.

It does'nt say much but I wonder if he got barberchaired. I used to live up there while inspecting utility poles. Sad story.

I understand what you mean: The caller was closeby and heard the tree and saw. He didn't hear it through the cell phone. Looks like I read this a little too fast.

In this day and age, I just assumed that the cell phone was not only helping to cause car accidents, but was also helping to create other hazards as well.

Must be missing something. I see nothing funny about it.

I am thinking it is a sense of humor.


Bad things happen to people who speak on their cell phones at inappropriate times. This was proof of that.

I don't see where you are getting he was on cell phone when this happened. His cutting partner called from his cell phone to report incident. If he was on his cell when cutting then yes he got what he deserved. But i didn't get that from article.

The caller heard a tree cracking and noticed the chain saw went idle.

Funny he didn't notice the tree hitting his friend. You are right though, it isn't clear.
