2 men are charged with cutting down famous 150-year-old tree near Hadrian's Wall in England
Prosecutors in England say two men have been charged with cutting down the popular 150-year-old Sycamore Gap tree next to Hadrian’s Wall.
Two men have been charged with cutting down the popular 150-year-old Sycamore Gap tree next to Hadrian’s Wall last year in northern England, prosecutors said Tuesday.
Daniel Graham, 38, and Adam Carruthers, 31, were charged with causing criminal damage and damaging the wall built in A.D. 122 by Emperor Hadrian to guard the northwest frontier of the Roman Empire.
They were ordered to appear in Newcastle Magistrates’ Court on May 15.
The sycamore’s majestic canopy between two hills made it a popular subject for landscape photographers. It became a destination after being featured in Kevin Costner’s 1991 film “Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves.”

seems like a drop in the bucket to what the british empire did for 400 years.
OMG what a dumb comment this is.
The tree was not complicit in that
i don't think the tree cares about being cut down either because it, you know, is an inanimate object.
Go away katy
Or what Germany did in the battle of the Somme, or what Israel has done in Gaza.
Not sure why you ran with whataboutism.
i know this might be a shock but saying one thing doesn't mean other things cannot be true.
That's not how this works. There's no point in talking if everyone just makes unrelated statements.
But have you considered the heat death of the universe?
