Looks like it. It's hard to tell, but it looks like rot in the bottom of the trunk probably caused it to collapse the wrong way.

If you are in Birmingham, I need the name of the company. I have a tree that needs to come down.

I rarely recommend folks, but check out Precision Tree Service. They took this one down and two others for my dad...
They also took down a Red Oak, that was less than 2 foot off my house that had a width of 28" across it and one of the limbs was about 6" in diameter and spanned the width over my place. As well as an Ash a little bit bigger. They had both trees on the ground in less than 2 hrs. Topping them and all. I paid cash, after catching them at a neighbors house and if I recall, I think I paid 1800 to put both my trees on the ground.

Vincent Alfano, 83, lives in the house where the tree fell. He said he hired Robert Kimble Tree Service of Vance to take down an oak tree that had died in his front yard.
Alfano said Kimble and his workers had hooked a rope to a branch on the dead tree and attached the rope to a skid-steer loader to pull the tree away from the house when it started falling. But something went wrong and the tree, which was already leaning toward the house, fell on the corner of the house instead.
"It was just poor judgment," Alfano said. "They made too big of a (wedge) cut and didn't trim the tree enough."
Alfano's son, Jack Alfano of Vestavia Hills, was inside the house, taking a nap on the couch when the large tree came crashing into a bedroom on the corner of the house. "It sounded like the house exploded inside," Jack Alfano said.

Yeah.. I've cut down my share (dozens) of 80' pines with a Kuboto tractor and rope tied with my dad notching and cutting. Based on the tree and where it sat, it doesn't take a "professional" to have seen that cluster coming.

Good thing nobody took me up on that. 
Pretty shoddy job though. Really bad decision and lack of sense.

It's a shame it'll end up at a landfill. That's a winter's worth of firewood at least.
It will be ground for mulch.
