   I saw a video doctumentery (one of many) on the shooting.. and in it, they showed the shooting frame by frame, and zoomed in.. and when Kennedy was shot, the bullet actually caused fragments of his head to break apart and fly into the air. Very disturbing, esspecially considering that his wife had some of her husband's blood and skin fly onto her.

   when you see his wife looking like she was trying to jump out of the back of the car. she was actualy going after a chunk of the presidents head. she said it must of been a reflex.

   I'm not quite sure how Americans see president Kennedy these days or how they saw him back then. He seemed like a great statesman and a brilliant speeker. There's lots of conspiracy theories going about as to whom arranged his demise, some say the mob were involved and even the CIA don't know how true that is. I watched a programme on the discovery channel and it seemed to point towards this. The kennedys apparently (according to this documentary) used links with the mob to get elected. It seems strange though that Kennedy or his administration did'nt take appropriate methods to stay safe, seems in some way he was a sitting duck.

   Two shooters? In the last part showing the calvalcade it looks like he was shot twice? His head quietly falls forward ...chin on chest (shot from behind?).... and Jackie leans forward and in towards her husband to see if he is okay (perhaps saying something?)....then the powerful shot from the front that finishes it. Haunting clip.

    Most of this is explained in JFK (yes.. I know it's an Oliver Stone movie, but he does raise a lot really REALLY good points.. that and it's probably one of the best movies I've ever seen). In my opinion.. the darkest moment in American history in the 20th Century...

    One problem; The Zapruder film had not yet been developed when Kronkite gave the story.

From the CAPTION located BENEATH THE TITLE of the video: Quote: Footage of Walter Cronkite breaking News of JFK's murder in Dallas from 1963 WARNING also features video of the shooting in color. I'm not Quite sure why the Shooting was Added I think the Original News Report would have been interesting enough. So it was intentional. Nobody's trying to pull a fast one here. :wink:
