So how can we rule out any possibility that there was a cause other than one obvious possibility, that a truck slammed the tree so hard that it snapped at the base and came right out of the ground?
It looks like it might have been cut somewhat. So maybe someone took a portable angle grinder to the base just because they're a jerk?
That looks like a bad case of tree rot at the base, same thing is happening in Tompkins Square and most other parks where tree limbs are falling and toppling over. A truck may have backed into it but a healthy tree would not split at the base unless there was serious tree rot.
Was the tree infront of a spawn of yuppie building? If so they prolly called dad to get it down because the birds make too much noise, and the cant see their favorite chain resturaunt or citibike availability out the window.

Or maybe a new menu item at Momofuku Ssam Bar?

Rot indeed. This is what happens when restaurants dump their buckets of bleach water into the trees.
Maybe the big tree couldn't bear to live any longer, seein' his little buddy, dead in the street......so the big tree committed arborcide.
Good name for a band Dr Bop
Big time tree rot.
