Last Wednesday, this Man is walking down a Brooklyn street as two snow plows pass by. The action is recorded on an auto dealer’s security camera. “Pedro, who was looking at his feet as he walked along the snow-covered sidewalk, says he had no idea the wave of slush was headed his way.” The force of the snow also broke the window of the dealer.
“Then, ‘Oh, I’m on the floor,’” he recalled at the dealership Tuesday. “My head, my eyes now, I have a little pain.”
Following the brutal knockdown seen half a million times on the Internet, Pedro says, “I wake up and just go home.”
Pedro said he hadn’t heard from the city — and may file suit after the smack down. The unleashing of an avalanche of snow on an unsuspecting pedestrian is “not safe,” Pedro said. “It’s a problem.”

GEESH….
Yes. A body blow!
I saw this too and couldn’t believe the force and amount of snow that toppled him. You’d think there would have been some outreach by the city.
Or something. There’ll be outreach once the lawsuits start to fly.
yup.
sometimes, that’s exactly how i’ve felt this winter. this giant wave of extreme weather has come by, while i was just happily ambling along, and unknowingly knocked me down.
Somehow I think it would take a lot to knock you down.
Poor Pedro!
Pedro. Reminds me of Napoleon Dynamite!
me and Pedro feel the same–poor guy
Awwww, you and Pedro are suffering…
That’s pretty awful.
Imagine, getting up to go for a walk and getting blitzing with a snow blow. The day MUST get better from there.
