The company operating the backhoe should have had the area roped off with danger tape or something. I mean they didn’t even do any fundamental safety procedures that are meant to keep this from happening.

I realize the lady was paying attention but in addition to see it, you really can’t miss hearing it. Most of gathers backhoes make a noise when backing to warn people unaware like this poor lady.

** Her last text was... There is this annoying beeping noise. I wonder what it is?

Helluva speed bump.

Fucking lemmings with their faces in their phones

Just another texting-to-death moron not paying attention to where she's going

How the fuck can someone be at her level of unawareness

Because even older people are addicted to their phones! Wake up sheeple!

Gotta be aware of your surroundings.. Crazy how unaware she was. She walked right into it

[squeamishless]

Thing is, large equipment like that almost always emits a loud, rhythmic beeping sound when moving in reverse! I know NYC is a loud environment, but geez......
