DBWI: Footage of JFK assasination?

A lot of the witnesses to the assassination seem to agree on a lot of details that collectively contradict many of the key assertions of the Warren Commission. Many witnesses say they heard more than three shots, and many agree that the shots came from around a grassy embankment slightly to the front of the motorcade, instead of Oswald's book depository. Several people were emphatic that they saw Kennedy's head jerk back and to the left, while the Commission claims the fatal bullet ENTERED from the back, which would make a backward jerk physcially impossible.

So what if we had some legitimate piece of videotape so there existed an objective, inarguable record of the events of that terrible day? :(
 
Well actually if a bullet enter through your skull from behind it make a nice little blood jet that can make your head go backward

I think that the blood jet itself would spray backwards from the release of pressure inside the skull, but the momentum of the bullet entering from behind would inevitably knock the head forward. One billiard ball cannot knock another one into itself (barring a bounce off a wall, of course).

I think there a diffrence between what happen when two billard ball knock on each other and the one of a bullet and a skull at a high speed
 
Of course, billiard balls have the same size and mass.

Neither size nor mass is the conserved property in a collision, but momentum. And a large slow object, like a human head crawling in a motorcade, can have a similar momentum to a small fast object, like a speeding bullet.

Well there more than just blood gushing out but also quite a lot of the brain

Kennedy Assassination

Greetings everyone!!!

Having watched several excellent shows, and reading several books that support/contradict what happened, here are my ponderings:

#1 - Warren commission findings: Oswald was the lone gunman, firing at JFK from the school book depository. I agree that JFK was shot from behind by Oswald. Oswald had Marine Corps training that enabled him to be able to make that shot. I also reference the Zapruder film. From the time that JFK is seen prior to going out of sight behind the highway sign (no indication of any wound). After coming from behind the sign, it is clear that he has been hit by at least 1 bullet. The film shows JFK with his hands at his throat, and leaning forward, and to his left. Now according to the film, JFK is hit in the right side of the head, driving his head back to the rear. One thing I found interesting about the film when they showed it frame by frame up to the fatal shot, is that you can see sunlight glistening off of the bullet, which clearly shows it coming from the front!!!

#2 - the magic bullet found on the gurney. In my mind, this is the strongest evidence that there was some type of conspirancy in place. I believe that this pristine bullet, with no disfigurement, could have also defied the laws of physics (again,Warren Commision findings), and made 2 dramatic, impossible turn in mid flight!!!

Just curious about this event...

Read the name of the thread: DBWI. The topic of discussion here isn't whether or not JFK's assassination was a conspiracy. Thus, your talk of the Zapruder film is inane and pointless. Besides, IIRC the whole "magic bullet" thing was made up by Oliver Stone for his film.

(OOC: I'll take the possibly IC parts of your post in stride to give me the meat of my post...;))
The recent movie about the event, directed by that eyewitness, Zapruder, was made from accounts of people who were convined that there was a conspiracy, so the results were inevitably skewed. I mean, with some footage of the event, we might be able to tell what happened. Zapruder said he was going to take a camera, but decided against it. There's so many possibilities. WI Zapruder took his camera with him? I mean, I've seen all the CGI re-enactments, but I've always felt that something was missing... IIRC, Governor Connally was sitting at the right angle for the bullet to hit him after passing through Kennedy, but I can't be too sure.

I mean, with no records of the event except forty-year-old eyewitness accounts, then what are we to believe? Personally, I think LBJ had something to do with it. (OOC: Not really, but ITTL...)
