    It appears to have caught the roof over the entrance doors to the building and that diverted the direction of fall - - - Luckily!

    I think it was the push from the sawyer that diverted it.

    I looked at the clip again and you are right, both the fallers felling were pushing it sideways as it was falling.

    it was already past the door portal when at 07 the guy at the door(presumably the tree feller) can be seen to give it a (one can imagine) huge push.

    No, but you can watch it drop a tree on it's head.



    There's a reason tree fellers wear hard hats. I bet that never crossed their minds.
