British prosecutors have released haunting footage of what they say is the moment when the country's famed Sycamore Gap tree was cut down in the dead of night. The eerie video was reportedly shown in court on Wednesday during the second day of the trial of Daniel Graham and Adam Carruthers, who authorities believe were responsible for the dastardly deed back in September of 2003. The footage originally showed nearly nothing because of the darkness of the late hour, however, an enhancement by investigators revealed a figure standing beside the tree as the sound of a chainsaw could be heard before the sizeable Sycamore Gap came tragically tumbling to the ground.
