Buckminster Fuller's Dymaxion Car | Living St. Louis

A working replica of Buckminster Fuller’s Dymaxion Car visits the campus of Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville. The car, which debuted at the 1933 Chicago World’s Fair, was dubbed the “car of the future” because of its advanced technologies and design. Anne-Marie Berger finds out what it’s like to take a ride.

My grandfather, Francis T Turner, who went by Jack, was the driver who perished at the Chicago worlds fair, in 33. My dad was 6 at the time. So much mystery and intrigue with his involvement in this car when he worked for the Gulf refining company. This was the second time he made headlines. The first time was when he was the first person to fly us airmail over the mason dixon line.

The most powerful part of the video was where they put Benjamin Lowder's opinion on. It says he's the Creative Director of the Center for Spirituality and Sustainability. What are we doing to keep that man safe from all the wild and scary things in the world? What's in a job title? This is a lot of responsibility for one man who may never be able to speak freely in America.
