how mnay people witnessed the jfk assasination and how many are still living today?

Question

ok there are some people who seem to be retarded, there was no broadcast of the jfk assasination nor of the parade through dealey plaza

again, it was not shown on live tv, the only video visibly taken of the shots was the zapruder film which mr zapruder rushed to his friend at fox to show on a broadcast

Answer 1

I can still remember the day before my brother saying a rhyme 2, 4, 6, 8 who will we assassinate. I was just in kinder-garden after it was said a couple of times my brother asked who do you think will die?

Answer 2

Aside from the televised broadcast, I would assume that hundreds of people were looking at the President when he was shot. I wouldn't think that anyone was looking elsewhere, aside from Secret Service agents, and those up to no good. Seeing the victim getting shot doesn't really do the investigation a whole lot of good....as it was videotaped and could be reviewed over and over.

Of those hundreds of people on the parade route that were in a position to view the shooting, there isn't anything to think that 65% of them are still alive. Figuring the average age of the people in the crowd was 30-35, making them 70-75.

Answer 3

Well, anyone who was watching Television that fateful day, would still be alive today, unless due to illness or old age...

Its only been 43 years ago, and if some one was in thier 30s (as in Moms raising kids), they would be in thier 60s or 70s, maybe in thier 80s too, so a lot of folks would still be alive.

I remember being sent home because of the Assasination... (being too young to know what was going on, I was mad because they took all the cartoons off, and showed the hearse and all that stuff for the entire day that I was off...).

But, I remember JFK as I remember seeing him on televison, giving this speech and that speech and not knowing what it was all about, just waiting for the cartoons and serial superheros to come on..(real superman fan back then)...

I wish you well..

his list of girlfriends and affairs would make Clinton look like a Choir Boy,,, but during this time the republicans hadn't been as cruel and salacious as Ken Starr and the right wing GOP who spent 6 years looking for something to pin on Bill Clinton,,, they finally came up with Monica

Answer 5

Although I wasn't in Dallas, I saw the whole thing covered on tv. It was an awful time. I did see Lee Harvey Oswald killed on live tv, and I was watching when Robert Kennedy was killed also.

Answer 6

I was in the seventh grade and remember we were all sent home early that day. It was all that was on tv for the next week. We were in front of it constantly. That was unusual back then , we didn't have 24 hour news channels. It really affected everone.

Answer 7

Your additional details are questionable...The assassination was shown live on TV...Why call people retarded?about what?
I was in a classroom in grade school..........It was horrible.
I still say that Lee Harvey Oswald did not assassinate the president.He was set up...............He knew Jack Ruby........I think Ruby shut Oswald up by killing him....Oswald would have talked.
He knew who shot President Kennedy, and why

,

Answer 8

I saw it all go down on TV.it was very devastating for a long time the sadness was nation wide..I was just 20 at the time

Answer 9

somewhere i have pictures in a scrap book of it, one shows the blood on his face, i have one of the agent shielding him . some of the pictures were taken by people on the sidelines. the shot that got him was a level shot .not from a building! something i have always wondered , who was the real killer.

Answer 10

Several hundred people saw Kennedy hit none saw the bullets fired thus the controversy.
