Thankfully nobody was hurt when this tree fell at Gambir Walk
STOMPer ana was shocked when she spotted this tree falling this afternoon (Nov 4) at Gambir Walk.
In an email to STOMP today (Nov 4), the STOMPer says:
“A huge tree along Gambir Walk suddenly fell today at 4:35pm. Nobody was hurt. No major damage resulted from the incident.
“The trunk of this old tree was not strong enough to hold its many branches. This could happen again anytime, anywhere. Next time, someone could get hurt.
“Perhaps inspections can be made to see if our trees are sturdy and pose no threat to the safety of our residents."

It's a temporary overhead bridge. Constructed by Mother Nature.

This tree is too heavy at the top...thanks to "whoever" who trim the tree. Islandwide...if u observe carefully, there are more trees that are "out of balance".Trim away too much leaving the top heavy.
