Ironic since, if he wasn’t wearing his iPod, he might have heard the friggin’ BUS coming at him before it was too late.

Definitely irony if he was listening to it at the time. I take an iPod to the Y when I workout, but I don’t actually put it on until I get to the Y. The article doesn’t say if he was wearing it at the time, I don’t think.

However, my guess is that he was wearing it, but I don’t know if they’ll know for sure, unless witnesses come forward.

Maybe he was listening to Jan and Dean’s “Dead Man’s Curve?”

Eggs Actly.

I wonder in the decades ago joggers/women would run with headsets on.

Can’t hear the creep sneaking up on her.

I wonder (I don’t wear headphones or have an I pod) what other than tech ability to download is the diff in safety when someone has earplugs drowning out the awareness hearing provides around them in scetchy situations.
