Tree felling fail - GIF

[Frank S]

Widow maker trees can be tricky to fell where you need them. They had a line attached to it high up why was it slack? The wedge cutout was supposed to serve as a hinge but if the tree is leaning away from the hinge, then the wedge cut should be cut deeper Cutting out a pocket to insert a bottle jack before the felling cut is completed Could have helped to push the tree in the direction away from the building. removing some of the limns on side the tree was leaning would have helped.
If a professional tree removal person tells you he has never dropped a tree in the wrong direction. he is probably too ashamed to admit the truth.
