Lead Car

[ChristophMessner]

Thom, at Z313 and before the limo was a lie 40 degrees turned to the pedestrian tunnel, so a shot from there through the windshield would never have hit JFK. And from the lead car ... ? Pretty inaccurate to shoot from a driving car, endangering the driver and others, isn't it? Jsnow, yes, you see the south pedestrian tunnel on this photo already: But don't forget, that there was a small window at the south side of the limo and Greer and Mrs Connally were in the line of fire from there.

Hi Christoph,You wrote "Thom, at Z313 and before the limo was a lie 40 degrees turned to the pedestrian tunnel, so a shot from there through the windshield would never have hit JFK. And from the lead car ... ?

Thom, I meant a shot from the lead car would not have gone through the windshield, but traveled left of the windshield (from the shooters perspective) through the air directly into JFK. I just brought this up of a possible shot from the lead car, because if a bullet from the fence would have fully hit JFK's head, it's trajectory would have created an exit wound on the LEFT side of JFK's head. So I just looked out for other origins. But all in all I regard it highly improbable, that a shot came from the lead car, and I tend to believe, that James Files' mercury bullet deflected a little and defragmentated on damaged skull parts already. Always happy to hear from you, too. Chris
