The trees in the area look fairly mature which means they will remain at that height until they fall or are felled.
I have a place, maybe 40 miles southeast of Birmingham, and the mature pine trees are over 100 ft (30 meters or so). I wonder if the trees involved in the crash are only 40 or 50 feet? I guess, if the soil isn't that deep, as on some hills, or if they aren't pine trees, the trees may stay as low as 40 or 50 feet at maturity, but it'd be worth double checking. I mention pine, as they are common around the south and grow very quickly, but there are others just as tall.
