Somehow I get the feeling you have never run a dozer. The noise, not just engine but also from the tracks is deafening. The engine is running at top speed and to turn you step on a decelerator, disengage one track with a foot pedal and pull a hand brake. Then you also have a steel blade that's 10' wide and 6' high right in front of you. That lady would have had to have fallen down 50' in front of the blade to give him any chance of missing her.

I ran a D4 and I'd never park my truck within 100 yards of where I was working.
