'We thought a couple branches was falling, but it was the whole tree.' A chaotic scene unfolded at a high school reunion after a tree fell on partygoers at Fairmount Park. RossDiMattei has the latest details.
“All you could see was all the guys running,” Smoot said. “And they were all picking up the trees and getting everybody out, calling 9-1-1. Everybody just did their part.”
After this tree unexpectedly fell over, many guests are worried about other trees in the park, and they’re calling on the city to make it safer. “The city needs to come out and inspect these trees,” one woman said. “There’s one right there getting ready to fall down. We pay a lot of tax money.”“You can look around at the trees and you can see, like that one, hopefully that don’t come down,” Smoot said.
