The Assassination of Jfk
It was the 22nd of November 1963, when President Kennedy was travelling through Dallas on a speech presenting tour. The president had previously been warned that the people of Dallas disliked him, and that the trip would be dangerous. Despite these warning, JFK saw it as a way to gain popularity and enhance his standing in the Southern states. As President Kennedy disembarked Air Force One, he was escorted into an open limousine 2nd from the front of the Motorcade, where he was to be driven to a conference in the Trade Mart Building. The original route of the Motorcade was to travel straight down Main Street and into their intended destination. But, on the day of the assassination, the Motorcade made a very sharp 90 degree turn from Main, to Houston street, where the car was slowed down to 25 m/ph, then another sharp turn from Houston, to Elm street, whereby the car was slowed right down to 15 m/ph. Near halfway down Elm street, at approximately 12:31pm, 4 shots were fired. The first bullet struck Kennedy in the throat, the second passed through Governor John Connally's chest and left wrist. The third bullet hit Kennedy in the front of the head, and the fourth was said to have missed all targets. All these bullets were said have been shot from the Texas School Book Depository.The presidents car quickly sped up and rushed to Parkland Memorial hospital where Dr. Paul Peters and Dr. Clark tried their hardest to save JFK's life. John Fitzgerald Kennedy was pronounced dead at 1:04pm. All doctors who witnessed JFK's wounds all state that the president's head was partially destroyed, they say the back right side of the presidents head was missing, and that 20% of his brain was not intact. Ambulance Officer Aubrey Rike explained that there were large arguments between the state and the Secret Service as to where the autopsy was to be performed. Dr. Rose, a very experienced doctor in autopsy's demanded that the president's body be examined in the Parkland
