Woman witnesses fatal crash, walks away while eating pizza
If you witnessed a fatal accident, how would you react? One woman in New York City sort of...didn't react...at all...unless you count glancing behind you momentarily before continuing to stroll along as you eat a slice of pizza as "reacting." Not everyone has it in them to be a Good Samaritan, but this seems pretty cold.
On Sunday in Brooklyn, 30-year-old art curator Victoria Nicodemus was killed when an SUV jumped a curb on Fulton Street, striking two other pedestrians, her boyfriend and an elderly woman. At the same time, security footage shows a woman exiting a pizza shop. As she walks out, the SUV is seen lurching onto the sidewalk. The footage is grainy, but clearly the accident happened right next to the woman, and yet she expresses nothing other than mild curiosity as other witnesses and passersby spring into action. After a few seconds, she takes a bite of pizza and saunters off as a human being lies dying on a sidewalk.
According the New York Times, this accident is the 20th pedestrian fatality in NYC in which the person walking was on the sidewalk when they were struck. This has prompted outrage by the group Transportation Alternatives, who say that the sidewalks are “where New Yorkers are supposed to be safe from traffic,” a sentiment that is probably (hopefully) universal.
With all of the popular pizza memes occupying the internet, and with New York being home to #pizzarat, one can only hope that the web responds to this woman's apparent lack of soul with a hashtage that is suitably shaming. #pizzatragedywoman? #pizzaheartlesslady?
