And the second happening supporting the transport nutcase theory happened during the Saturday before the storm. We where three people sharing a car from a transport service company going from Brooklyn, Parkslope to Upper Manhattan, Hamilton Heights since the subway had been cancelled due to the Hurricane coming in.
We had just started rolling when the driver was called back to base to pick up another driver who was going home from work and had a similar destination as ours. So we went around the block and came back. You could immediately tell that our driver did not like the freebooter climbing into to front seat.
As we where chatting away in the back seat between friends the off-duty driver decided to break in, and not only that. He decided to start his one man routine on his former exploits. He was a former rocket scientist from Romania who had been part of sending Gagarin to space and then moved to the USA in 1966-1967 and worked for Nasa instead. He more or less denied being a driver but said that his job now was as superhero, or I mean vigilante-activist or I do not really know what to call it. He said that he made politicians incriminate them selves and then had them sentenced in court, he also told us that he was running for some kind of office in the next election by write in vote. He was apparently above answering questions: Just like any good politician he used the silence and anticipation of an answer following our questions to dig deeper in to his own storytelling. He came across as a full fledged mythomaniac, and as he got out of the car our driver confirmed all of our suspicions. There was such a wealth of material that this man spew out in only about ten minutes and then it was all completed and confirmed by the other man in less then 3 minutes.
So how come the transport sector attracts so called nutcases?
