A horrible day for Texas A&M. Such a terrible shame that happened.

They cut all those trees with axes? f'k that LOL
quote:
Trees at Cut are not felled with chainsaws but chopped by hand with axes. As McInnis explains, "When you cut by ax, every single log has been invested in. Every single log was a challenge and an obstacle. With a chainsaw, you wouldn't get that sense of ownership." The Brownpots' main job then is to go around with their Stihls and lop off troublesome boughs to more quickly create logs out of felled oaks and cedars.

I thought McInnis did a very good job of explaining why axes are used. If anybody had asked me why axes were used back in the day, my immediate response would have been a very thoughtful "because we're not pussies".

When tradition screws over everyone. It was an incredibly poorly thought out design, and the accident was inevitable. There is a reason that Dartmouth engineers their bonfire down to the last 4x4.
