Brooklyn Heights family narrowly escapes falling giant tree bough
A family strolling along Columbia Heights in Brooklyn Heights narrowly escaped injury or worse at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday after a giant tree bough broke with a loud crack and came crashing down to the sidewalk.
A mom, dad and seven-year-old girl jumped out of the way when the father shouted, according to Heights resident Beverly Closs, who was walking with her husband Bill about a half block away from the incident.
