We all named the big (Chinese Tallow) trees that we cut down. Among the names were Harry and Larry (the twin towers), Bud, Bud Light, Goliath, and Titanic. Trunk diameters ranged from 6 to 12 inches. Not sure why we personified them but it made it easier to follow progress on who was working where.
We had a cutoff time of 12:15, and each of the big trees took a long time. Our group had split into three crews and our final trees came down within two minutes of each other. I could video only one of them, so first I'd like to say hats off to the other two crews. It was amazing and chilling (good thing in the Louisiana heat) to hear the three crews hoot and holler in succession.
This video is of one crew toppling the Titanic, the 12-incher, which took 30 minutes to overcome.

This was fun to watch, especially hearing the group's enthusiasm for their task.
