tejek, re:That does not mean we should be happy at her death. Who's happy? Now who do you think? Since you used the word "we" and I'm not happy - that would leave you. Some will call her courageous, others stupid. No matter ones position on the practice of bulldozing houses, her commitment to her beliefs is commendable. I think we witnessed an unfortunate accident between a driver doing his job and a person committed to her beliefs. From the article it sounds like the fact she was trapped under some dirt was unexpected on her part and the driver fully expected her to move at the last minute. The eye witness states she tried to rise up just before she was trapped under some dirt. Sounds like she tried to move a little to late. I seriously doubt the driver can see her when he gets that close, but I'm pretty sure he knew she was there before he ran her over. They each assumed something that didn't happen - were is the fault, that's for the courts at this point. I suppose it would be instructive to read what happened after the "accident". Did the driver get down, lend assistance, call for help, or toss her body to the side and do his job?
