Breaking News....Film doesn't show JFK being assassinated!
Then why the hell is this a story?

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17229693/

They must have run out of Paris, Britney, ANS, and O.J. stories.

Damned liberal media.

1. no, but apparently at the end, it shows someone with another
camera... wouldn't you love to track down that individual to see what, if anything might be seen from their film?

I find it amazing that someone could have had film of that day and it is now making news, though.. WHy wasn't it made available before?

3. My thought exactly, where has this film been all these years?
Confiscated?

4. It was owned by a Man who took hundreds of rolls of film of..
...just "stuff". He really didn't think it was important because it didn't show any of the assassination.
His son casually mentioned it to a Museum Curator (at a dinner) and the rest is history..

8. That's what I turned to my wife and said. Where the f*ck did it COME FROM?
Did someone not notice that the film might be like, a big deal or something?:sarcasm:

2. The way I heard it...it was because of the great quality of the film.
I saw it at noon and it did look like it was taken yesterday.

7. What is weird about it to me is how the last frame was of the book depository
and it seemed so out of place. Almost as if it was put in afterwards, to say, hey this is where the only shots were fired.

11. they said
that the book depository footage was shot the next day. I don't think there's anything nefarious about this.

12. That's been my question too
I can't figure out why nobody else is asking why that footage was shot.

15. me three.
why shoot footage of the depository BEFORE the assignation? What's so special about the book depository pre-shooting?

17. He didn't
the video shown on TV was not plain, unedited footage from the camera. They said he shot the book depository footage AFTER the assassination.

22. I didn't feel it was shot before but after the assassination, but why? As I said
Edited on Mon Feb-19-07 07:11 PM by OmmmSweetOmmm
in my earlier post, I felt it was if it was shot deliberately and inserted to uphold the theory of a lone gunman.

10. Sorry
it IS a story. Beautiful footage of JFK's last moments, and a beautiful, happy Jackie.

Good god, the way people bitch about ANYTHING on the news that isn't anti-Bush is just nuts.

Of course this footage deserves to be shown. It's not dominating the news - it's been given a few minutes, and well-deserved ones.

16. Indeed. It is very sad, watching them happy right then.
I was quite young, but still remember the over-riding sorrow.

20. Actually, I found the new footage to be quite
intriquing...and sad.

It's eerie seeing them happy like that and knowing what will happen to them just 90 seconds later during an event that happened only months before I was born.

23. Like life - none of us knows for sure what will happen in the next few
seconds.
