Is anybody else here thinking about that scene from Soylent Green?

And didn't the article indicate that she may have fallen down in front of the dozer? From the Fox News version:

"She fell in front of the machine, which ran over her and then backed up, witnesses said."

CNN's version:
"Other witnesses, however, reported that Corrie had scaled a pile of dirt but then lost her footing and fell backward behind it, out of sight of the bulldozer operator. The bulldozer continued moving forward, covering Corrie with dirt and then crushing her. "

The other witness version of the story indicates that the bulldozer operator knocked her down and THEN rolled over her. What is not clear is if the bulldozer driver had any awareness that she was in front of the damn thing. Visibility is quite limited on a big dozer.
