[SEL] narrow miss for my engines today...

[Mark Shulaw]

Thats one tall frickin tree, Thats about 262 foot tall if I converted 
correctly. And over 8 foot diameter trunk. Gonna lumber the trunk out? That 
had to make one whale of a thump when it hit. The engines wouldn't have 
just been broken they would have been pulverized and driven into the 
ground. There'd a been nothing to do but level the crater with fresh earth 
and build a new shed.    Mark

PS: YES Pictures please.
