At 8:20 this morning, the top half of one of the several pines planted over the parkade in my building fell over. A neighbour sounded quite certain when she said it was a jack pine (Pinus banksiana), but those needles are supposed to be very short, and the needles here top out around 16cm long. So, European black pine?
Yes, Pinus nigra. Looks like a forked trunk, notorious weak point very liable to break - probably the result on weevil or pine shoot moth damage killing the lead shoot all those years ago, and causing it to be replaced by two (or more) side branches.
