Not to gross anyone out here, but I remember reading that Jackie climbed onto the trunk to retrieve a portion of her husband's skull. If I'm recalling correctly, she said she was acting on autopilot and not thinking of her safety, but only trying to help her husband. I can't even imagine the trauma she suffered that day. I don't remember JFK's assassination (only 3 at the time), but I do remember how devastated my mother was at Bobby's in 1968. It was a different era.

I've always been told she was giving a secret service agent a hand onto the limo; the photos and films seem to support this.

Interesting to note that the FBI stepped in "We're in charge here" - and lost Kennedy's Brain! (Evidence)
