2. Matter of Life and Death

Immediately after the fatal headshot, Jackie Kennedy can be seen climbing onto the back of the convertible. Shockingly, she was actually trying to retrieve a large piece of her husband’s skull and brain. She was also able to collect additional parts of tissue from the limousine floor and seat.

Arriving at Parkland, Dr. Marion Jenkins was the one charged with saving JFK’s life. According to the doctor’s daughter, Kennedy’s blood was dripping down her father’s pants and into his shoes. “My father began administering resuscitative drugs and manually squeezing oxygen into the president’s lungs”, Christie Jenkins recounts.

Unfortunately, the team realized the head wounds were so massive that JFK just couldn’t survive. That’s when Jackie. full of hope, handed Dr. Jenkins the pieces of her husband’s head she’d collected.

  3. This site is probably one of the most miserable clickbait advertisement traps in the internet.
    It really sucks— and if you’re smart— you’ll block it … as I am going to.

  4. I think it was all a government plan. No way a man gets shot from behind and the wound is bigger on entrance than exit.

  5. Back in 1960 Kennedy was in broomal, pa. at lawrence park shopping center on his campain when my dad and I were stopped in trafic because of his motorcade. I was only 8 at the time when dad said get in back of the pickup’s bed so I could see him pass by. It was a 2 lane road, sproul rd. well he went by and I sheepishly peeped out of the pickup’s bed and saw Mr. Kennedy and his wife wearing those pill box hats! I will never forget that day . He did have flaming red hair unlike some photos. Dad’s truck was an old ’51 Dodge pickup with those big fenders and running boards. Neat times back then!

  6. I remember I was at my sister’s house and holding my baby while coming down the stairs. We were watching TV and saw it happen. We just sat there and cried. We were in shock as was the rest of the world. Every November 22 we would be together and pray. My other daughter (by marriage) was born that day and the joy we would have shared was completely overshadowed by this horrible event. My sister just passed away, but I still secretly go off by myself and pray. It will never be forgotten. Also seeing Walter Cronkite cry is something that remains in my mind.

  7. I was in High School in class ( History I think ) when the news came over the P A system and the entire school was let out. Everybody was like ” WTF ” , I had never seen the school that still. That’s something I’ll never forget.
