Just an FYI but the whole "magic bullet" aspect of the JFK thing is based entirely on false information.

The argument that the bullet changed its trajectory seemingly at random in order to hit all the targets it ended up hitting assumed that the layout of the Governors car was the same as a standard car in which the seats would all be pretty much evenly spaced and at equal heights etc.

But the car was not standard, it was heavily customized so as to show off the rear passengers and make them more visible to any crowds the car was driving past.

JFK and the 1st ladies seats were wider and higher spaced than the Governor and his wifes seats that were narrower and lower down in the body of the car.

When 3D modelers took the real specifications of the car into account and then lined the people up as they were when the bullet struck, the "magic bullet" suddenly turned into a very ordinary looking flight path that was pretty much straight from the book depository into JFK and then into the Governor.

No twisting, no reversals of course, nothing all that remarkable about it other than who the victims were.

Here's a short 4 minute clip showing this.

I hate to say this but Jackie has a really nice ass.

Have a friend or family member stand by with a spray bottle of warm water to spritz you in the face when his head explodes

I'm not sure why, but, from this video, I can't help but wonder why the car looks to be going so slowly. Shot one, two, three-- step on it please, preferably 1.5-2 shots ago.

This is so freaking weird because my way to work crosses right across Elm on Houston on my way to uptown. seeing this kinda makes it more real that this actually happened.

By the way, the sixth floor museum is a marvelous place to visit if you're ever in Dallas they go through the whole days events from when kennedy lands to when Lee Harvey Oswald shows up to the School book depository, and lines up for his shot to when Kennedy is taken to Parkland hospital and the events that followed. Really powerful stuff that puts it all in perspective for you.

Wow.

It's not something you really want to see, but you keep watching it because of the 360 view.
