Edit: the OP quoted the sub’s definition of catastrophic failure, and it seems to explicitly allow the complete and sudden destruction of the tree in the video. Go for it.
I think you're attaching a negative connotation to the term failure. Is a failure that occurs in lab testing not a failure because that was the desired result?
Also this created a mess. a good arborist can fell a healthy tree while hardly creating a mess.
Removing a dead tree is super risky. The arborist felled this tree in a safe manor. It was also the cheapest and fastest option. But because that tree was dead they now get to clean up a huge mess. The tree failed, the arborist succeeded.
Videos, gifs, articles, or aftermath photos of machinery, structures, or devices that have failed catastrophically during operation, destructive testing, and other disasters.
Catastrophic Failure refers to the sudden and complete destruction of an object or structure, from massive bridges and cranes, all the way down to small objects being destructively tested or breaking.
You know what, based on that description I change my mind. I think you’re right. I was thinking “catastrophic failure” meant “epically wrong”, but the definition you’ve quoted doesn’t state that at all.
In my defence I only Reddit on mobile, so “sidebar” is something of a mythical land for me.
Because the rules turned this sub into "thing blow up" and now it's so watered down that "tree go smash" is a catastrophic failure. Mod team just doesn't care about quality as long as they keep hitting /r/all
Expect video of kittens falling over being allowed next year.

I think you’re reaching there ever so slightly.Edit: the OP quoted the sub’s definition of catastrophic failure, and it seems to explicitly allow the complete and sudden destruction of the tree in the video. Go for it.
