"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."
-John Guare, Landscape of the Body
They suspect he had been smoking synthetic marijuana. He tested positive for drugs and was yelling something about the world coming to an end. They are still trying to find out of it was intentional.
Some footage came out of him going on the sidewalk, it's amazing only 1 person was killed after seeing this video, hopefully the rest make full recoverys
@z5 said: "So sad. Honestly, wouldn't surprise me if this lunatic was inspired by the 'religion of peace,' though.
He could just as easily been inspired by violent Mexican drug gangs or by a dog he thinks was talking to him telling him to kill, but you keep working it.
A second video on here, it's amazing how many people got out of the way in time, this had the potential to be so much worse and thankfully it wasn't. As much as we see people walking around listening to music or looking at their phones it was good to see people being aware of their surroundings and being able to get out of the way.
I work right on 44th and we had a student group show up early and just as they were getting the last person in the building the car came plowing through. Truly scary to see the carnage, but I commend the NYPD, First Responders, and all the others that were involved that handled this.

Another video showing the impact and him getting out of the car. Those posts did their job and definitely saved some lives. That one bus tour salesman was right on top of the car and walked away cause of the posts. Just surreal. Kudos to all those people who tried grabbing this guy and finally getting him too.
