Clueless Lumberjack Destroys A House When His Chopped Tree Falls The Wrong Way

This is the moment a man chopping down a tree makes a monumental mistake and sends the trunk falling through the roof of a nearby house.

The hapless lumberjack can be heard yelling: 'Oh, God dammit,' before launching to a string of expletives at the top of his lungs as the massive pine crashes down on a suburban street in Houston, Texas.

A neighbor filmed the disaster after becoming concerned that all was not going to end well - and the video has gone viral.

One man can be seen next to the tree as it falls towards the house while another, who appears to be holding a guide rope, runs in the opposite direction in Houston, Texas
