Gerry Down Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Nice collection of photos. So the manhole opening where some believe an assassin might have fired from is now sealed up? Also didn't see Robert Groden selling his materials in his usual spot in your pictures. Is he still the plaza man? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Bulman Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 (edited) These three pictures partially show why I believe the throat shot may have come from the south knoll, having seen these views myself. In this one keep in mind at one point Perry said the throat wound tracked to the right side of the larynx. Though this view is not quite from the actual end of the south end of the overpass. This next one shows what I've commented on before, the end of the concrete "fence" I said curves but actually angles back towards the plaza. Anyone along this part could not be seen by others along the straight part of the overpass directly over Elm/Main. The last one, is an extension of the prior one looking the other way. I've crouched down beside that last larger concrete post. From there you certainly can't be seen from the rest of the overpass. With only your right arm/shoulder, edge of your head exposed you wouldn't be seen unless they were looking directly at you by anyone in Dealy Plaza. A shot through one of the "holes" in the fence nearest its end would have been further concealed. A point should be made here that all eyes here were focused on JFK and the immediate surroundings. As John mentions, a quick, un-noticed exit from here could be made to the Postal Annex parking lot at the time. Or over the hill. Over the tracks, down the hill was another more remote parking lot. With quick access to now I-35 South. Away from the parade headed to the Trademart, or the limo headed to the hospital Edited November 23, 2022 by Ron Bulman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he still the plaza man? Robert was busy with the conference so likely focused on that. The manhole covers require a simple key to open on the north knoll. The mirror version on the south knoll has the original circle finger opening but my finger was not strong enough to lift it this morning. Regardless, the three or four added inches of asphalt would make it impossible to verify the ability to sight a rifle or pistol in that space.

Guest Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 There are soms very interesting views from angles I had never seen before, I had a rather different imagination (I've never been there) on that part in my mind, thanks for setting it straight !

With quick access to now I-35 South. Away from the parade headed to the Trademart, or the limo headed to the hospital I should have included this one with the three I linked above. Zoomed in from the south knoll it shows in essence what a shooter from there would have seen using a scoped rifle. Granted, a scope view would probably only show JFK's upper torso and a slight area around it. As the suv is right beside the first X, my question is could a practiced expert marksman hit the upper left corner of the Cadillac emblem with certainty? Yes, there are people who can do so. Thank you very much John. You have created an excellent collection here. I urge all members and guests to take the time to click on each image and see the larger version of all pictures. You can scroll on the image and zoom in much closer as well. I have several similar shots and others as well taken about a week before the 50th on a Nikon SLR but am not familiar with how to get them from the SD card to here.
