    Yeah this could have turned out truly horrific. It is horrible that this persons house is damaged horribly, but I think the crane company's insurance will cover it or they will one way or the other.

    On the other hand:
    Imagine, if you will, that you get up to the pearly gates and you see St. Peter. You have to explain to him the reason why you are so early for your appointment is that some jackass landed a crane on you while you were just chillin' at your house. Poor guy is going to have to try not to fall off his podium stool from laughter 'cause I'm sure he doesn't hear that one every day.

    I love picture 3.

    "Guys! The crane fell over!"
    "Damn, how are we gonna fix this?"
    "Another crane?"
    "Genius!"

    Although I feel bad for wishing suffering upon whoever's house this is, it would have been hilarious had the rescue crane toppled over too. #crane

    Another important question to ask yourself is whether or not she would have been able to avoid the accident if she had been able to hear. There are plenty of people crushed by trees while they are cutting them down, and they KNOW its going to fall.
    Granted, its not smart to cut out the outside world completely while still interacting with it, but as far as I am concerned this is still a pretty big stretch to say that the mp3 player was a cause of the accident.
    I say, blame the jogger-hating angry beaver that caused the tree to fall!

    The tree is in custody, and may be charged pending an investigation. Witnesses say that he appeared to have been intoxicated at the time of the event.

    So the tree falls and the ipod idly sits by and lets it kill its owner, wheras Blackberies will come to the rescue and stop their owners falling from mountains.
    Actually can any noiseblocking be blamed? I'm pretty sure theres very few things that make a noise when falling apart form people and planes. Most things only make the noise when they hit the ground.

    I've almost had a huge tree branch fall on me, and there was little, if any warning that someone running would have heard. One time a branch on a tree in my yard cracked, I heard like 1 second "cracks" every 90 seconds for like 5 minutes, to the point I didn't know what was making the noise till the wump of the branch falling. The one that almost took me out made no noise I could hear(storm and blowing wind) until it thudded into the ground where I would have been standing had I not turned around to move my car.

    @paperless: That is very true, but since the article doesn't state the type of headphones she used it's possible the music she was listening to was just to good. Can't we just think that she died doing something she enjoyed listening to the music she loved?
