Interesting I was there not long before the incident and saw bochurim crossing against the light and decided not to do it myself.
As someone who lived on that block for 6yrs., I can tell you that the intersection of 8th & Madison is very accident prone. Maybe it has to do with the synchronization of the 9th Street & 6th Street traffic lights.
Does anybody remember the accident on that corner on Tzom GeDalia in 1994 or 1995? The Trailer with the kaporos chickens for BMG parking lot hit a motorcycle. It was lights out for the motorcycle guy.
To #5, Everybody was happy that guy got it because he was wearing a Nazi helmet.
6: You know we are not supposed to harrass Egyptians, it’s a pasuk, because they were hosts to us. We are not supposed to speak Lashon Hara about Goyim to stay in practice for Yiddin, same goes for stealing from them. You are rooting for another human being to die? What exact evidence do you have about the helmet? The style? Was there a symbol on it? You know haShem made man btzalmo. How about some hakarah?
