Dear Garden Friends:

SNIP

Joe witnessed Rachel's tragic death late that afternoon, and described
what he saw to my colleague. He recounted that

Rachel "was sitting on a mound of earth in front of the
bulldozer. The earth started to move under her when the
bulldozer digs in. You have a couple of options you can roll
aside --- you have to be very quick to get out of the way.
You can fall back, but she leaned forward to try to climb up on
top. She got pulled down, and the bulldozer lost sight
of her .Then, without lifting the blade, he reversed and she was
underneath the blade."

What kind of bulldozer operator is going to even _move_ the dozer knowing
someone is under the blade.......let alone put the dozer in reverse? Any
other operator would have got off the dozer to see what he had to do.
