Jack Ruby also died a few months later making it all seem a perfect neat little package

Zappruder was filming with his personal brand-new Super-8 8mm camera. All cameras on Dalley plaza were film, not broadcast technology.

Cagoo, He was shot on live TV coverage of the transfer. I was watching it with my dad and asked him if that man was just shot. For years I thought he'd been killed immediately and didn't realize he lived another 2 hours.

I remember watching it on the news in Toronto via Buffalo news station: ABC, NBC, or CBS. No cable then--tower antenna instead!

i like the old statements that say : The committee was troubled by the apparently unlocked doors along the stairway route and the removal of security guards from the area of the garage nearest the stairway shortly before the shooting . Jack ruby the nightclub lunatic was like a ghost that day. walks in and bang shoots him. haha conspiracy?? 😂😂😂

I agree, JFK was the first person I saw murdered on TV. I always thought this was the greatest unsolved murder of the 20th century. If you want to find out what really happened that day, read " Who really killed JFK, the case against LBJ"! great read. ( I don't believe Oswald acted alone)

WantedDrake23497, no it wasn't JFK as he was rushed to hospital and while they attempted to save him he was pronounced dead at hospital so because of that technicality that he died at hospital he was shot on TV but not quite murdered. didn't someone else in his motorcade die right away tho? that would make them the first.

Ah yes, Lee Harvey Oswald, the man who was supposedly the lone assassin to President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, later became a shooting victim himself, thanks to one, Jack Ruby.

knowbrains, right shot or killed live means planned to film actual time happened. Maybe I don't really get it. live meaning or if it was caught on film and telecast later to media.
