FYI - The visibility from a bulldozer isn't all that good. I would bet that the operator didn't know that she was there.

I agree. It's almost impossible to believe that the operator knew she was there.

This incident really is a shame. She was at one point, an attractive young woman.

Her "friends" did what? ... other than to just stand there and watch?

Nobody tackled her to get her out of the way. Very "solidarity" of them.

There is not really any indication that she was "crushed."

She must have slipped off the edge of the ditch made by the bulldozer, as the bulldozer rumbled by in reverse; and some part(s) of the bulldozer knocked the life out of her.

When a bulldozer of that size, rolls over a body, such as a calf, the body is flattened into the ground ... and much worse. The pictures showed no signs of such injury.

God Bless her and the family.

Yeah, but the visibility from underneath is worse.

He may have known that there was a handful of people there but it looks like her friends scattered and left her, and the driver would have by that time had his view of the lone remaining protestor obscured by the scoop. He would have thought she ran with the others.

someone here mentioned "great solidarity huh!" exactly! You can see the depth of *their* conviction.
