Default How to get rid of a fallen tree that is leaning on another tree?

I woke up this morning to find a tree in my back yard had broken off
and fell about 6 feet off the stump. It's is buttressed by some high
tree branches of an adjacent tree. It's about a 50 foot tree with no
real width to it just basically a big one foot
diameter log. I need to get it to fall so I can cut it up but it looks
like it's in a pretty secure lean. How can I safely cut this tree down?


This is a very dangerous situation. Even I would probably call a pro
for this. (that's saying a lot, I seldom call a pro for anything)

You might can pull the tree out of the other one with a chain or cable.
