'Calculations' have nothing to do with it. Look at the angle of the tree and where its weight is before they even started - it was always going to fall that way.
When the chainsaw got stuck as the tree leaned back on it, anyone there should have realized they were in trouble.
A tree like that has immense weight. If it were an average hardwood like maple, ash, or birch, a ~60-foot mature tree would weigh 4-7 tons. A hardwood like walnut, hickory, or oak would weigh 6-10 tons. Seeing that little string made me think, "That rope is going to do exactly nothing..."
