Sped forward. If you knew anything about that big of a machine, you would know it couldn't have sped forward, because they can't. The top end on these machines are 10 to 15 miles an hr, and it takes awhile to get there. Secondly, I read elsewhere, that she was caught under the dirt being pushed by the machine. If the machine was pushing a decent amount of dirt, it couldn't have gone more than approximately 5 mph. These big machines just don't go that fast. Look at who related the account, and you will figure out the discrepency. Even if the machine was traveling 5 MPH, and I suspect your right since I have seen them in action, how do you get out from under it if you're buried up to your waist in dirt? Secondly, every 'dozer I have seen operating in those conditions lifts its shovel when it reverses so it doesn't drag the dirt back that it just pushed forward. Why did this one leave the shovel on the ground to drag? ted Subject Titles
