[@thehighllama8101]

I think Frontline, or some other news show, did acoustical tests regarding how loud echoes would be at Dealey Plaza and from where those echoes would come from if firing a rifle from the School Book Depository. If I'm recalling correctly, a rifle shot from the Depository would echo from the area of the grassy knoll with 80% the volume of the sound of the original shot. So, it might explain why people thought they heard a shot from the grassy knoll. Just a theory. I'm not trying to get into a heated debate with anyone. Anyway, I visited Dealey Plaza four years ago and was also stunned by how small the area was compared to what I thought it would be, after seeing it so many times in movies and news shows.

@@thehighllama8101 If you'd been one of those folk who were closer to the GK than the TSBD, I'm positive you would have heard the original sound of a shot from the GK before the echo of a shot from the TSBD, due to the speed at which sounds travels. There's no doubt that echoes off solid structures CAN be disorientating, as to the origin of the sound. Yet, despite that caveat, it's been conclusively established that there were plenty more than three shots fired, from at least two locations, including the TSBD and the GK. I think it's extremely telling that so many (dozens!) who reported shots from the GK were not called by the Warren Commission, or even properly interviewed by the Dallas police.

Most people have believed it was a conspiracy ever since the first Gallup Poll on the question was first answered in late-Nov. '63, continuing with a huge majority rejecting the government WC narrative through the 2013 poll, the 50th anniversary. The government's own HSCA (House Select Committee on Assassinations (JFK, RFK, and MLK Jr, 1977-79) announced its finding that "Kennedy was probably killed by a conspiracy."

To me, three things rule out any shooter from this position: The angle is all wrong, as a frontal shot would have had to exit Kennedy's left side, which was completely undamaged; people on the overpass, who some thought they saw smoke at this location, arrived within seconds and found nothing besides some footprints, which could have been left there anytime; but most importantly any shot from this angle would have absolutely confirmed a conspiracy (since Connally's wounds especially are impossible to explain from any grassy knoll location), something one would think any conspirators would be trying their hardest to avoid. Yes, everything is so small at Dealey Plaza, but it's still a great place to apply Occam's Razor and a little common sense. Thanks for posting.

[@Perrosiutico]

The details are very different nearly 60 years later. The chain link fence behind the picket fence was added since I was there last in 1998. The parking lot behind the knoll has been paved; it was just dirt when I was a kid in 1963. The signage is different. But the main shape of the streets, grounds and pergola remains the same. Many people remark on how much smaller it is than they had imagined. Since I grew up in Dallas and was 15 at the time of the assassination I don't experience that. After all these years I do look at it and realize what a perfect location it was for an ambush.

[@hiataki7]

And a perfect location when a single person with a rifle can overlook the roadway down below.

[@freeguy77]

I was there just behind the fence at the corner, a few years ago, where anyone could be safely hidden for a shot (or more), with even a 2x scope, it would be as easy as pie. No doubt someone was right there firing a rifle that could be assembled or dissembled quickly, do the shot(s), pick up the shells, and make a fast getaway from a car in the parking lot right behind. Numerous witnesses saw smoke rising from there, and ran to that small area, as films showed right afterwards. If that doesn't prove a shots (probably the fatal one) came from there, nothing will.

The grassy knoll actually looks like a small place, thanks to this video. Most of the video footage from 22 Nov 1963 makes it appear like a large place. Now I think that the eyewitnesses who saw the smoke and heard the shots from the Knoll, would have actually even been able to even see the shooters up close.

[@shooterqqqq]

Zapruder was filming on the grassy knoll and he filmed the corner of the picket fence. The railroad employee didn't see anyone on the parking lot side of the fence but he did see two people on the street side of the fence. One was the plaza groundskeeper. That makes it impossible to shoot from the Grassy Knoll. There were also a couple of people standing on the sidewalk between the fence and the street. There were two police officers on the overpass and they chase away spectators as ordered. Then about six railroad workers on their lunch break showed up and they successfully argued the officers were on railroad property and they had every right to be there. That makes any shot from the front impossible. Three people watched Oswald kill Kennedy. RoseMary Willis is on the Zapruder film as she watches.

No one ran down to search the SW parking lot, (and if a dirty cop was in on it, standing guard, why would he do anything like that?) and as a man on the roof on the Postal Building told Mark Lane, the guy behind the fence ran away, probably right after the first shot, that more than likely missed the limo completely, hitting the street at the corner of Elm and Houston.

[@vincenzodangelo127]

This is what happened that morning of November 22, 1963 in Dallas and the Zapruder video speaks very clearly. The presidential limousine takes Elm Street and after a few meters the first shot fired by Nicoletti starts who, together with Rosselli, was hidden in the Dal Tex Building. The first bullet misses its target and hits the sidewalk of the triple rail crossing at the end of the square and a splinter ends up in the face of James Tague, a passerby who was standing there. The second bullet hits Kennedy in the throat, and as you can see in the footage, the president puts his hands around his neck and Governor Connally turns back to understand what happened. The third bullet misses and ends up on the lawn where it is later found by an FBI man and Deputy Buddy Walthers. The fourth bullet hits Connally who emits a grimace of pain as seen in the video and brings his right hand to his stomach because he accuses an immediate pain and then the bullet pierces his right wrist and plants itself in the thigh of his left leg. The fifth bullet hits Kennedy in the back of the head and the sixth bullet, fired by James Files hiding on the grassy knoll half a second after the fifth shot, shoots both Kennedy's blood and head back, and the brain leaking was due to pressure. of the sixth bullet that had left an apple-sized hole behind Kennedy's head, as evidenced by photos of 14 people bringing their hands to the same spot on their heads. I say with certainty that the bullets were 6 because it seems that a shot was fired about every three seconds, that is the time to reload the rifle. Returning to Connally, which is the key to clarifying the mystery well, there is a lot to say. 1) First of all, from the angle in which Oswald would have found himself firing, which was about 45 degrees, only Kennedy would have been hit and no one else, the bullet could not in any way make a deviation and then hit the governor. 2) When Kennedy is shot Connally turns around to see what happens and stays there for about three seconds, the time to reload the shot in the rifle; if the governor had been hit by the magic bullet, at the same time as the president, he would have had the same reaction as Kennedy and would have neither the way nor the strength to look back. 3) The governor Connally when he is wounded is still turned and you see a grimace of pain as I mentioned before him and then turn forward again and collapse on his wife's legs. 4) In the video you can see how Connally bumps his head in front of the glass that separates him from the driver's and assistant's seats. 5) Do you know why Connally was hit? Both because Kennedy threw himself on his wife's right shoulder, because bending over did not hinder the trajectory of the fourth bullet that almost grazed him hitting the governor, and because the shot was fired by Nicoletti from the window of the Dal Tex Building and reached the governor, because Kennedy was leaning towards his wife. So, not only does the first missile reveal where the shot really came from, but also what hit Connally. Indisputable and real evidence, but unfortunately denied by many, including the Warren commission which veiled so much evidence.

James Files makes an interesting statement about two shots being fired almost instantly together. The #1 most credible witnesses to the condition of the President's body are the attending physician's. That gaping hole in the back of the skull is an exit wound. That flap in front of the president's right ear in Zapruder film is exit wound. Two hits, both hiding impact angles. With the rear of the skull blown out by second shot, it eliminates evidence of entrance of 1st shot. The exit hole of the 1st shot eliminates evidence of entry of 2nd shot. Only thing about Files firing from his reported angle is it brings Mrs. Kennedy into the sight picture. Plus the exit wound would have been opposite the skull from where it is, no? In this video, i'm glad to see he captured the storm drain and its removable grates in the far west corner of the parking lot. We have to go with what the photo's show us and they show a host of people and one Dallas police officer running to that spot or within 10 feet of it. They were ear witnesses and their actions mean something. Also the reaction of Charles and Beatrice. Once he put her on the ground you can see him get up and immediately walk and look out the back of the monument wall towards the parking lot. There was obviously something going on along the north side of Elm at other locations than the TSBD, A researcher who passed away recent, believed two shooters were in the furthermost shelter right behind Zapruder and his secretary. Only thing about that is Charles and Beatrice Hester had a birds eye view inside from where they were. They reported nothing. Daltex bldg, a possibility, records bldg also. The planners would have taken every precaution to make sure this target does not leave this site with sustainable wounds. JFK and Mrs. Kennedy already had Camelot status and a maimed, crippled president, commander in chief was not gonna happen. If that limo disappears beneath that RR underpass with him still alive then its gonna be a sh*t storm of unimaginable proportion. Two things. Somewhere along that route on Elm St was someone calling the shots. A curb coroner of sorts. That person would have to be visible to the last resort shooter. You would place that final gun as far down towards the RR underpass as possible. The target would be approaching his position and would put the target at about a 1 to 2 O'clock position in relation to the muzzle. Perfect match to the exit wound to back of skull. If you notice the presidents head prior to that shot is leaning slightly forward and he's facing left just a bit, bullet hits in exit wound of shot previously fired and takes out right rear of skull. They did not want to take that shot because it adds a big problem to all shots fired from other end of Elm, TSBD but they had no choice. The shot to back, to throat or whatever, the Zapruder film shows the President was still somewhat in control of his faculties, still alive and with a hospital nearby he most likely would have recovered. Someone activated that last shooter, someone close enough along that route to determine it was absolutely needed. Someone very close to the curb. The only place down at that end of the fence / parking lot where a shooter could be concealed is that storm inlet. A car parked on top perhaps to conceal it even more. Those witnesses ran there for a reason I believe. We have to stick with what was there, the closest witnesses at different locations. Behind the fence is non other than Lee Bowers, our ultimate witness. The RR workers on top the overpass, The Hesters and their reaction immediately following the shots. Back to Lee Bowers, do you recall him describing 3 cars entering the sealed off parking lot around 12:10 pm? He describes fresh mud on one all the way up the sides of the car. Well it rained till 8 or 9 am and all night and Dallas had paved roads so do we have a source for where the car drove thru mud after the rain? Had to be after or the rain would have rinsed the car somewhat. He said it looked fresh. Well I'll turn your attention to a witness whom came forward some years later. Sergeant Vinson, USAF. Hopped a flight out of Andrews trying to get home to Colorado, just him and the two pilots. Tail emblem on aircraft appeared to be a Globe with grid lines. Some 3 or 3 !/2 hours into flight the pilot announced the President had been shot, plane banked hard and Vinson recognized the Dallas Fort Worth skyline. Plane approached from the north and flew southeast over the city where he says it landed on what appeared to be an unpaved area, a place under construction with a tool shed, stated plane kicked up dust. Took on two passengers, one matched Roger Craig's dark man and the green Rambler in front of TSBD. Sergeant Vinson stated he could see the Trinity river and the Dallas skyline to his north. There is such a place, no houses, near Oak Cliff (Tippit & Oswald's run in), its now called Joppa reserve or preserve, can't remember. Vinson's statement is the only source of a non paved area where a car could drive thru wet soil and arrive in the TSBD parking lot shortly after noon. I'm sure there are other's but it is the only statement concerning JFK's murder where a connection can be made on two items, mud and passenger matching Roger Craig's passenger / driver of that Rambler. I suspect if Files fired from where he states and Jackie Kennedy and her husband both had their brains blown out onto Elm St, this country would have come to an abrupt halt and I mean big time because there's no way a bullet on trajectory from 6th floor window can hit the president and turn left and hit her. We are a strange people, we let somebody get away with murder of a man president but I think a slain first lady would pull the pin on civility. Files may have been there but he did not shoot from the right side of the limo with her behind the intended target. If he did then the shadowy bunch we're dealing with are 1000 x more sinister then we thought possible.

[@thebeaz1]

Why did you film the ground?

[@spudrain]

This video shows exactly why no professional assassin would have chosen to fire a shot from the grassy knoll. First you are firing directly in the direction where everybody is looking. Better to fire from above as the target is moving away from you. If you fire from above and behind the target, the people on the ground are not looking in your direction and they are generally clueless as to the source of the shots. Second, at the time of the assassination there were at least 10 people standing around and in front of the picket fence. Those people are likely to see and hear you. Third, your back was exposed to anyone who walked through the parking lot behind the picket fence. I’m always amazed at how many conspiracy theorists miss these points and somehow think the grassy knoll was an ideal shooting location.

[@JohnDavis-sb6ex]

Ok, so you don't think the grassy knoll was a good place for the last shot. What do you think about the last shot coming from the storm drain located at street level slightly to the right of JFK? Please don't say the drain opening is too small because back in 1963 the opening was quite large. Through the passing decades, several layers of asphalt have narrowed the opening to where most people believe the opening is too narrow without considering the opening has been narrowed due to the additional asphalt.

[@spudrain]

John Davis Yes the storm drain has been proven to have been an impossible place to fire a shot. First, it would have taken a dwarf to fit in there. Second, the dwarf would have had a wide open shot at......the front tires of the limousine. Only morons cling to the crazy notion that somebody fired from the storm drain.

[@JohnDavis-sb6ex]

The way you talk, I bet you are on someone's payroll to keep the lie alive well past 2063! It takes a moron to know a moron as you criticize any idea that doesn't fit the one person killing of JFK! No, a person can fit in the storm drain as shown in the many documentaries through the decades! You don't consider frame 313 of Zapruder's film where not only does JFK'S head snap back and to the left, his whole torso along with his right arm is twisted to the rear and left! His right arm flops up, connected to his torso. All of this shows a slight upward movement from a shot below from the storm drain! Of course you'll deny these ideas because you're part of the cover-up!

Yes, I would have thought exactly the same. This is no place to hide away from hundreds of people looking in your direction and a few within easy earshot, too.

That's all there is to the assassination.

[@lukkesst]

Exactly. Those who say that the shot was fired from the grassy knoll are reasoning in hindsight that the shooter was not seen and therefore it was a good place for a sniper. But you can't reason with hindsight: no sniper in his right mind ( not even disguised as a policeman) have thought to position himself there. And in fact none of the dozens of eyewitnesses, who were physically two or three metres away - and not looking at a video or photos 60 years later - saw anyone.

While in the parking lot, had you kept panning the camera toward the right at the tracks you would have seen the RR box (still there today) where the weapons and uniforms were stashed for pickup by the shooters. You went out on the RR crossing, but no shots were fired from the top, only one from below at street level (left side at street level). The shot from the grassy knoll was fired from the left of where you stopped. Your panning graphically illustrates that the Dal Tex Building was the primary shooters nest, not the school book depository. Who were the shooters ? Grassy Knoll = Jim Files ... Underpass = Charley Harrelson ... Dal Tex Building (not revealed). Who was in the school book depository (6th floor) ? At the window = Malcolm Wallace (LBJ's personal assassin), and a man with dark skin. There was a shooter on the other end of the building (South end), however he did not have a shot.

[@idiotbox4180]

4:00 there’s the final head-shot So few ever bother to show this area and still gravitate towards that ‘picket fence ‘ like sheep.

[@midnitematador6249]

They "gravitate" to the picket fence area because that's where shots were heard from... The sheep are the people that believe Oswald acted alone!

[@timothyernest6429]

No, not the final head shot necessarily but rather the throat shot.

[@doomgloom8414]

@@timothyernest6429 you think the throat shot came from the opposite side of the grassy knoll?

[@timothyernest6429]

@@doomgloom8414 Yes, that frontal shot that hit jfk in the throat came on the diagonal from across the 3 streets and grassy knoll areas. The hitter was near but not at the far end of the bridge . He and a facilitator aiding in his escape were located between that rr bridge and the old post office. They were both seen escaping in the nearby lot atop that hill in a vehicle. Other witnesses that were situated near the far end of that Plaza smelling smoke from the gun fire. Jack Rubenstein was also watching the parade and hit from a safer distance; that being near the corner of Houston and Commerce streets. It is not true that Mr. Ruby was sitting in a Dallas newspaper office placing an ad at the time of the hit. He was in Dealey Plaza at the time of 12:30 p.m. Shortly thereafter , witnesses actually saw Ruby at the scene of the nearby parkland hospital. It was there that ruby planted a near pristine bullet on the wrong stretcher in a hospital corridor, right next to a stretcher that had contained the wounded governor Connolly before he was placed in one of the trauma rooms. LHO and Ruby were familiar with each other and had met personally prior to the hit. Nnoly

@@timothyernest6429 what about the smoke witnesses saw drifting over the grassy knoll and is seen in a photograph immediately after the assassination? Also rr worker Sam Holland and three kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnbUZ2asibSqmas others standing on triple underpass heard a shot from the knoll and saw smoke from there behind the picket fence. At least a dozen people including 2 motorcycle policemen chased the shooter on the knoll as seen in photos and video footage.

[@tempebill8183]

All basic elements same as in '63- Most surprising, not knocking white picket fence down but putting chain link along its back- For me. . it's all about that 6th floor window- So many cannot accept the lone assassin but conjure all sorts of theories..Warren got it right..making the fence a moot part of the plaza- Alot of echoes in that small area-

[@rattycaddy]

What about the railroad workers on the overpass who all claim they saw the smoke drifting over the picket fence and heard several gunshots from that area?

[@robertromero8692]

@@rattycaddy Modern rifles produce VERY little smoke, so little that Oliver Stone had to use FAKE smoke in his movie. It was also very windy that day, so what little smoke there was would have immediately dissipated. The story doesn't hold up.

Why drive by the building , should have went to the freeway earlier to avoid a unchecked building or at least a secret service or a security officer could have been at the building,s entrance to check visitors and employees ?

My mother would say people pay for their mistakes. President Kennedy made a fatal mistake riding in an open car in Dallas nov 22 1963. After this Presidents stopped riding in parades and riding in open cars. Richard in Dallas.

[@Steve-nm9qy]

If this video has taught me anything its that I could've shot JFK from that building and I am no sniper. Much closer than I thought. Thanks, now I don't need to go there. It was on my bucket list

[@azmike3572]

Good material, but next time please use a tripod. It would make your videos much easier to watch.

[@dallasalice1170]

I spent five years working at 501 Elm Street, with my office window overlooking the plaza. I’ve seen a lot of weird stuff but nothing beats the guy who shot his brains out on the “X” one morning. I got to work just as they were cleaning up the scene. BTW, the “X” was never in the same place after road reconstruction/resurfacing.

[@dallasalice1170]

And if I had a dollar for every absolute moron I saw standing on the “X” for a pic and almost get mowed down by oncoming traffic, I’d have a wallet full of spending money.

[@DonnyBoSox]

@@dallasalice1170 no doubt. Cars come whipping around that bend.

[@dallasalice1170]

My understanding is that Zapruder’s company was on the 5th floor. I never made it up there when I was in the building but, fun fact: I literally ran into Chuck Norris walking out of my building for a smoke break. He was filming an episode of Walker, Texas Ranger and the production company set up craft services and wardrobe in our lobby. Working there was a trip.

[@dallasalice1170]

@@DonnyBoSox I’ve whipped around it many times myself 😂

And let me tell you, working in that building late at night when I had a deadline to meet was…interesting.

[@johnmorelli3775]

I think as you watch the video it becomes quite clear that the grassy knoll was a great place for a 2nd shooter. Odd how the official investigation quickly dismissed this possibility and relegated it to the realm of "conspiracy theorists".

I assume the 1:45 position is the shot that went through windscreen and into JFK's neck.

[@qanommonsense2753]

3;33 POINT IN THIS FILM SHOWS APROXIMATELY WHERE THE FIRST SHOT WAS FIRED FROM. THAT BULLET WENT THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD JUST TO THE LEFT OF THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. CONNALLY KNEW IT WAS COMING, AND HAD GOTTEN OUT OF HIS SEAT AND WAS CLINGING TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR TO LEAVE THE PATHWAY FOR THE BULLET THAT CAME THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD AND ENTERED KENNEDY'S THROAT. THE IMPACT OF THAT BULLET LIFTED KENNEDY UP OUT OF HIS SEAT AND THAT WAS WHAT BILL NEWMAN SAW WHEN HE SAID KENNEDY GRABBED HIS THROAT AND STOOD UP IN HIS SEAT BEFORE SLUMPING FORWARD NEWMAN SAID THE LIMOUSINE STOPPED IN FRONT OF HIM WHEN THE SHOT CAME FROM THE GRASSY KNOLL THAT EXPLODED KENNEDY'S HEAD. I WAS DISAPPOINTED HERE IN YOUR FILM THAT YOU DIDN'T SPEND A LITTLE MORE TIME FILMING TRAFFIC FRON BEHIND THE FENCE ON THE GRASSY KNOLL, BUT I AM THANKFUL YOU FILMED FROM THE OVERPASS.
