Tonyng 4th Gear February 11, 2017 Share February 11, 2017 In another country, a lawsuit is in order and would bring out what really happened and what more could be done, even after a storm. Here just another suay event. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throttle2 Supersonic February 11, 2017 Share February 11, 2017 News reported that big tree just fell wthin 5 sec! This is so scary. I always thought all trees in Botanic Gardens are well taken care of! Damn, the botanic gardens is a favorite for me and my family though i moved out of the neighborhood since 2009. Use to go almost everyday. There are many old trees and they should really be examined and treated properly. Especially those which are around the hotspots where events are held and people gather. For a tree to come crashing down like that, without lightning, it probably means the insides are all bad already. Really unfortunate for the folks there.

Volvobrick Supersonic February 11, 2017 Share February 11, 2017 It is a natural freak accident. Trees fall in the wild all the time to make way for new growth. RIP to the victim. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be surprised if they really do it. So far no apologies or nothing had been expressed by the top management, to the affected families. Typical SG style. No human compassionate touch....

Botanic gardens is a favorite spot for many people, esp the area where the tree fell. Many people like to gather at that area to picnic or relax. Now it happened such thing, really have fear the surrounding trees in good condition or not? If the fallen tree inside really all bad already, dont think such thing would happened overnight, so i wonder why they did not detect it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopites Supersonic February 12, 2017 Share February 12, 2017 (edited) I am sure none here trying to put blame on any parties. However many here do agreed that botanical garden will be the last place we expect to see tree toppled. We were awarded the world heritage award last year. I am sure plantation are well taken care as compare to other parts of Singapore. The management will need to dig deep how such tragedy happened.
