- A 300-year-old tree was illegally cut down in England. The Sycamore Gap tree was located at Hadrian’s Wall, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Hadrian’s Wall is believed to have been constructed around 1,900 years ago in what is now Northumberland National Park. The tree was featured in the 1991 Kevin Costner film, “Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves.” A 16-year-old boy has been arrested, police say, on suspicion of criminal damage.

I guess that teenager and his entire family now has to find a new home far away. Destruction of historical landscapes can never be forgiven in a local community. I certainly wouldn't.
Not just unforgiving in the local community, unforgiving around the world. I am incandescent 🤬🇨🇦
Wow including the damage to businesses. I’m sure many people would visit this site.
I’m willing to bet it was a boat person.

Losing something hundreds of years old because people can't raise their 🗑️sons right. I'm so tired of it.
Sometimes the parents do a good job but there son doesn’t
It’s not just boys 😂 girls online bullying has lead to some horrendous outcomes for example.
Also they just made an arrest of a 60 year old dude 😂
The failure of so-called diversity
@@ClarkyMalarkyWhen did he say it was only boys
That’s a lot more than just vandalism. The person who did that is malicious, pure meanness and evil.
I surmise that this "person" of 16 years must be carrying a lot of anger and/or malice to behave in a shocking and destructive manner. Like many other tree lovers, I am deeply saddened.
It's a 16 year old boy. They do stupid, mean things all the time. No evil involved.
@@HumanBeanbag I don't know a SINGLE 16 year old boy who goes to the length of chopping down a 300 year old tree out of anger.
And he had to have prepared an electric saw to do it too. That only tells me that boy will probably turn into a very dangerous person with anger management and violence problems in his future. Maybe even a future killer.
@HumanBeanbag age is no excuse.just prelude to this boys more destructive future ways
Or a typical Christian
This is absolutely vile. Not an act of vandalism its an act of evil.
It's a tree, and while I find it disgusting behavior, it's not evil. Do you rage about the rain forrests being destroyed everyday?
@@simplylethul The same evil as Bundy and Dahmer!

He should at least be made to plant 1000 trees for what he's done
Great answer!
How many people watched the movie? Millions?
Let's let him plant a few million trees. 😊
Hey, that's a good idea!
2,000,000 tree
@@findpurpose6300I never saw the movie. Millions have never seen the movie. Yet the tree is internationally beloved. The movie is a B grade piece of 💩. Stop associating this loved piece of history with a 💩 Hollywood movie. That’s so insulting.
I hope the national trust company will sue the 16 year old to court for destroying Britain’s most historic tree.
I hope they make him go homeless.
@@littlemanfredand some people care more about a tree than they do about people. Sad. This was wrong, but so is your thinking.
@@grtessmanwithout trees there would be no oxygen and all life on Earth would eventually perish. That means humans too! Did you ever think about that?? Also that tree was a historic landmark beloved by millions of people! Of course they're going to be upset about it!
It's not the MOST important. It's just natural and old.
@@grtessman Stop protecting criminals. You're in the wrong. It's why your language is designed to cancel people.
That 16 year old had just ruined his or her life. So heartless, going as far to chop down a historic landmark, angering everyone who loved the tree.
Who is raising these monsters anyway?
Just to put this into perspective this tree is about 53 years older than the United States of America….
I have a grandaddy oak in my yard that about 250 years old
was . . . 😥
@@ravencassidy1979 I bet she’s beautiful 🥰
Wasnt it a few hundred years older?
Visiting this site was on my bucket list, flew from Texas to UK to see Hadrians wall…just an amazing week there which will be in my memory forever.
It’s really tough to watch such wanton pointless destruction of such beauty and wonder. Imagine the stories if these old growth trees could speak. So very sorry for the locals.
Off with his head! Why would anyone ever destroy something so beautiful? What gave him motive to do such an unspeakable thing! So very sad!
But first cut off his trunk too!
@@ryanedwards805what so you think this is okay? That's bollocks. This kid should have his life ruined just like the trees life was ruined. This is a heinous act that deserves capital punishment. He destroyed an important monument and it was more than a tree it was more than you.
@@ryanedwards805I plant trees and I’m planting even more soon. This breaks my heart. It was an af tree that did nothing to deserve that. It’s trunk was so pristine too! I have to say that I do not find you edgy for your comment. I understand you just want attention. One day you will find better things to do than troll online. Take care
That 16 year should be a shame of himself for down that tree 😢
He was arrested in connection with the felling of the sycamore.
I'm all for fashioning a paddle out of what's left of the tree and giving the old tree some payback on his backside.
that would be a waste when Northumbria National Trust can make a fortune fashioning tourist tat from the wood
😑 WTF, why?! What a useless 16 year old. Don't have kids if you can work hard to parent them right so they don't end up like this. Shame on the teen and parents 😡🤬
WHY would someone do this!?!?! Truly awful
Dang I was 16 years old back in 2019 and I would never have this kind of motive on what he did
that’s what im saying, at 16 i had a full moral compass. he NEEDS to be trialled as an adult if they take it to court, he knew what he was doing
Was 16 in 2016 I could never imagine anyone in my community even think about doing something this terrible
Sickening…💔
Hopefully this permanently ruins his reputation. This is stupid beyond stupid.
What reputation does a 16-year-old juvenile delinquent have?
@@claudetteh67Not a very good one for killing a tree on a UNESCO site. He will catch hell forever.
They should make him buy and plant 109,500 trees 🌳, 365 days in a year x 300 year old tree = justice.
Nah too much i got a better one every weekend he does community service for the rest of his life
Let me guess, he probably recorded it to try and make some tiktok video for his friends.
Crazy how a 16 year old was able to do this.
Never underestimate boys with behaviour issues. Honestly, the lad should've been sent to hospital and not allowed out on his alone for this exact reason.
@@StuffJason437it’s just a tree
I think a 16 year old with a saw is capable of much worse than this... but yeah I'm sad. I loved that movie and recognized this scene instantly.
An older guy has also since been arrested. Last I heard no charges made 😡
that beautiful poor tree, rip 🌳 💔
Rest in pieces u mean
This is like the book The Giving Tree in real life.
In Egypt, Druid, Christian etc mythology
The Sycamore was the tree of life, the protector of the gateways, borders and boundaries ..
The start of new beginnings !!!!!
Seems like nothing is sacred anymore.
Wow that is killing history right there🤔
The wall has history, not the tree.
Alot of people and animals and plant life were killed to build history ..so...this is ironic

@@swallowedinthesea11Did you watch the video and actually pay attention?
That monster will pay for cutting down that beautiful tree. It’s really heartbreaking to see this. 💔😔😿
Just so heartbreaking! So sorry for that community just sickening. The kid needs a big fine and punishment!😮
Why on earth would they do this?? That was a perfectly well preserved tree and so old and Big and beautiful ❤️
@@ryanedwards805not you again lol. You make no sense troll. The tree was like 400 years old. We just ended up with that tree we didnt plant it.
16yr old, the beginning of his criminal career!
Could be. Someone needs to keep an eye on this guy. He either has just poor judgement or perhaps more serious mental health issues. Personally, I would be very careful of my own kids being around him. I hope the judge considers therapy if needed.
Well if you all keep antagonize him, certainly.
Wouldn’t be surprised if he did it based on a TicToc Challenge.
What did the tree do to you? This kid is sick in the head.
Make him plant Sycamore tree seedlings every weekend for the next 10 year as punishment.
That tree was felled by someone who was experienced at felling . I don't see how a 16 year old could have done it .
Spot on! That tree's been hinged and the hinge cleaned up. He'd also need wedges and a felling axe or sledge hammer to drive then in, this would be to avoid the bar being pinched. Why would a mere 'vandal' go to all that trouble in the pitch black and in the middle of storm Agnes? Something is not right with this incident.
People just can’t leave things alone sheesh
Love how it says 300 miles north london like England is more than london 😭 its the north east
Don't stress it. This is a channel owned by Americans.
Absolutely devastated, nothing is sacred anymore
What a cruel, vile young man. He should have to work just as hard as the tree took to grow! Since he wasn’t a coward to cut the tree, let him get the work he deserves!
What bother to 16 yrs old of the old tree? It's not his property. Have his parent pay for it.
I bet there's someone somewhere that has an idea how to put this tree back together.
They might as well practice on it.
I love this idea.
Plant growth regulating compounds might be the answer perhaps.
Maybe the trunk will grow some new branches they can revive and get bonsai cuttings
@@noumineit should grow new sprouts but will never look anything like before!
I am Groot.
Crazy to think that tree could be older than the constitution
no it's not.
@@IamrightyouarewrongIt definitely is.
It IS older than the US Constitution!
@@Iamrightyouarewrong if it wasnt it would be 2077 rn
It's over 300 years old.
Why tf would you do that. Make that kids family and generations to come pay for the next 300 years
Very clean felling technique for a 16 years old teenager
I think it fell back the wrong way.
Two cuts clean thru from opposite sides with a 36", (48" ?) bar by a 16 year old? Maybe in Amish PA. There is always more to come after first report, possibly the truth.
Disappointing and upsetting 😔😬💔
If he could do that to an innocent tree, what would happen to somebody who crossed him? This person needs help or lock up. 300 years the tree avoided death and the kid makes plans and walks out to the countryside with chainsaw in the night with this objective. He would never attempt in the daytime because he knows even weak old man would fight for it to the death.
No not the trees dude 😮💨 whoever done this is a menace to society 😭 he's cutting up the wrong ones bro 😔
Lol right..
His entire clan is now cursed by the druids ......fairies and the little people 😮 If i were a relative to him i would be afraid to go to sleep 😮
Sentence the teen to life in prison, problem solved.
Oh wow. Put him in a prison for 300 years, hold his parents accountable, even that won’t bring back the tree though
What’s with kids this past summer vandalizing ancient objects. Make it stop
it should be a punishable crime😑
“Some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn” ..Alfred Pennyworth
What a joker 😉
So utterly senseless. That’s more than mere vandalism, that stupid kid destroyed a World Heritage site.
The tree was just living peacefully there. 🤦♀️
He should pay for it for the rest of his life.
Let me guess. A Tik tok challenge or something stupid for clout??
That beautiful tree..... just .... WHY!
It a 300 year old tree, so the lease he could do is make him plant trees for rest of his life.
You destroyed something precious and beautiful at a heritage site. Hope he gets the maximum. The youth tiday have no respect
the kid is probably from the nearby area so everyone will know who he is and what he did so he just ruined his life
He’s already been arrested
Chinese saying:
A tree that is big enough is bound to have dead branches. A crowd is large enough is bound to have idiots.
That tree was worth one hundred of that waste of space.I wish that was actually the Sherrif's land. He would have choped that punk's legs off and fed him to the dungeon residents.
I’m surprised to see so many comments care about trees as much as me lol
The Worst Generation. Give him life in prison. Jerk.
That 300 year old Tree was an Ancient Living Organism, that was sacred. Not just a life. That 16 year old should be charged as an adult for murder.
Or should be sentenced to planting 1,000,000 trees by hand, and picking up 1,000,000 bags worth of garbage off the side of the road. So he can atleast inspire others in his redemption in overcoming his evil.
Whoever did this should burn and rot in hell.
"Burn and rot in hell"?!? It's. A. Tree. Get over it.
Why would anybody do this ???? It just makes no sense to me. Why would anybody do this to something of this much historical significance?? Pure stupidity and malicious evilness if you ask me.
300-odd years of history, wiped out in one night.
That kid should spend a life-time in prison.
If he was abandoned in a forest to fend for himself forever, would he perceive the concept of trees differently?
That tree was probably famous long before Costner was born.
It was! Stupid click bait by inside edition
It was a 16 yr old boy, he might be a minor but I still think he deserves the same fate as the tree.
Killing someone over a tree... Must be an American
@@NowiGreen I just watched one of your videos and I figured out your Australian. Makes sense that a country founded by criminals would stand up for criminals. Your videos confirm this.
@@larssandvik1347 If you justify killing a minor over a tree, the 'immoral' person would be you.
@@luis-alberto. I never said that, but he should be severely punished. Maybe not in Australia, but in the rest of the world, there is punishment when you commit crimes. And I will be right there to laugh at the aforementioned criminal. Because they deserve everything they get.
I can almost guarantee that this is a alleged refugee. These people are responsible for most of the mayhem.
I hope that 16 year old didn’t get leniency.. he deserves everything he did to that 300year old tree!!
Such a shame
I'm really curious to why..... what was his motivation for doing this... and that's a pretty big tree what did he use looks like a chainsaw and a pretty big one at that.. it looks like it still may take more there one person. Didn't anyone hear it. See him carrying it out there. So many questions.
Damn! Even in Jolly Ol' good parenting shows.
Kids these days have absolutely no respect.
How many trees were cut down for HS2? How many trees are being cut down to be replaced with new houses?
It is possible in some cases to grow a new tree from an old stump.
But that would take a LONG time, considering this tree is 300 years old, and, who knows? Maybe in the future some OTHER fatherless teenager would come and do the same thing.
I didn't know that
But to regrow to the size that it was, it would take another 300 years
@@plutonem4995it will never regrow in our lifetime…it’ll take many generations. Best thing would be to find a mature tree and replant it there. Not the same, and it’ll be expensive, but it will go a long way toward healing peoples’ hearts worldwide.
The culprit and his family can pay for the transplant of a replacement tree.
@@Jule-Craft_1495yea 300 years, who cares it’s a tree planet is dead anyway
The entire family should move…this is not good.
Grrrr sad to see an old tree deliberately destroyed :(
Probably did it for a tiktok video 🤷♂️
I don't even live in England, but I remember that movie and watched it on a loop when I was a kid. That scene where the kid climbs the tree. I am saddened by this news
My condolences 🌷 to the tree 🌲🌲 from India 🇮🇳
Good bye old friend 😢 R.I.P
Sounds to me, like the 16 yr old is an escape goat for the real culprit(s) of this act of violence against this tree.
Nothing will happen to him. He will be let off
300 years old!
R.I.P
They could transplant a new tree from somewhere else. Still no excuse for cutting it down.
Whoever did that, regardless of age needs to lose at least a decade of their life.
It's just a tree
Has the Lorax taught us nothing! Smh 🤦♂️
This is a perfect case for a public flogging, using the branches from the tree.
Sorry to say, but who ever did this sick really sick in the head and they need help and jail time😠😡
Jail the horrible little person that did this to our beautiful historic tree …. Honestly what’s this world coming too .. absolutely sadness and wicked act …
The only way to deter this in the future is an extremely lengthy prison sentence.....decades....but no proper justice will be rendered sadly.
He used nothing more than a chainsaw.
May God have mercy on his soul...
It’s just sad that there’s people in this world that are LITERALLY searching for something to bother them and then destroy it.
The sort of kid who does this is the same sort who turns into a serial killer or school shooter. He has probably already tortured animals. He (I assume its a he) needs to undergo serious mental evaluation and monitoring.
😢
I'm so upset. That was one of my place to visit... it's devastating... that kid needs to be locked up for killing a 300+ year old icon
Life in prison. Take everything the parents own
Life in prison ? Wow. Taking the parent's money won't bring the tree back. I have no suggestions but life in prison seems extreme.
I'm gutted. And it looks hadrian's wall has received a hit, too. Mexico is grieving on the event.
Dont worries, The Fey( Little People) shalt rise up n revolt! Agenst this monster distroying their home! (The Spirits of Ancient Land, dont take kindly to those whom seek to either "Spy on Them", or "Destroy their Ancestral Home")
