The report outlines a chain of structural failures starting with hoop stress exceeding hoop strength and wires snapping on the southeast side. Logs fall away as support weakens, second-stack logs shift and legs drop into gaps, and the first center-pole breaks between stacks. The third and fourth stacks shift, the structure falls southeast, a guy rope snaps, and the center pole breaks again at ground level. The pole is restrained by ropes as it nears ground, snaps again, and ends up atop the stack in the opposite fall direction. Some accounts say the pole’s top struck ground before snapping back.
