QUESTION:If you look at the first photo of Corrie and the bulldozer, it becomes
obvious that the Israelis are probably telling the truth. Draw a line
from the top of her head to the top of the blade and extend it
further, to the bulldozer. It should be apparent that at the moment
this photo was taken, Rachel could NOT be seen by the bulldozer
operator. Although the text makes it apparent that this particular
picture was not taken just before the accident and thus does not tell
us that the bulldozer operator could not see her when the accident
happened, it does tell us that she was foolish enough to let herself
get in a position where she could not be seen.
ANSWER: I have, I used to sell the stuff for a short time in Jacksonville.
For instance:
I've also stood in front of someone (my boss) using it to knock down a tree
and a wall at the edge of our yard, rather closer than Corrie was in some
of the photos. (There was some (relatively) fine work - we wanted the tree
to come down on our yard of course, and not the neighboring land and there
were some low lying obstructions to avoid that he needed some help with)
He could see me at all times easily, and we could communicate (in gestures
and shouted broken English and Chinese, btw, especially when we turned the
motor down))
Like Corrie, I am not a camouflaged dwarf or a very small child, the only
things which would make the ludicrous "I didn't see her" excuse remotely
plausible
Utter bull, which proves you've never come close to any heavy
equipment. The operator knew she was there; no one denies that. To
contend that he lost sight of her later is preposterous. They don't build
them so you can't see what the machine is doing. Duh.
And in an orange jacket with a bullhorn in bright light. Please,
There is no way he could have run over something as big as a human being
without feeling it, especially in a rubber tire machine ( I sold steel
crawlers, and you can feel what you are going over even in those.)
I think anyone with any doubt should print out the photos and the story and
show it to any heavy equipment dealer or construction site. You'll get a
funny look. That she was not murdered is preposterous, Anyone who works
around heavy equipment knows how lethal these giant toys can be and is damn
careful about using it when there are people around. Yes, she gambled she wouldn't be murdered. She lost. The operator felt
that the commission of the crime he was ordered to commit was more
important than an innocent life of someone trying to prevent him.
