#1 and all construction equipment has backup bells and alarms, so, suicided by ignorance and obliviousness

#3 I may be able to put you in touch with a NYC bookie who is said to be covering all bets.

#4 Look at her hands. Maybe it is just me, but it sure looks like she was talking and tapping away on her phone. Article makes no mention of that possibility.

Unfortunate, but, hmmmm.

#7 she was staring at her phone, not looking at where she was walking, I'd have to put that one down as a "Darwin"winner

#8 Odd for the NYP (perhaps) to not mention that.

I wonder if she had ear plugs in, too.

They better not even think of doing something against those construction workers or the company.

#9 Sorry, Clem, but if you are operating equipment, YOU are responsible for the safe operation, especially backing up in a public street. Her stupidity will get her family some $$, mitigated by her unsafe travel

#12 And now we know why it is called a back hoe.

#14 Dinking on her phone. Loud as those back-up noises are, yeah, likely earbuds.

If she wasn't gone before she hit the ground, the second head impact trauma likely, mercifully, finished the event.
