The "magic bullet" theory is very plausible.

Of course it is. Who is Mrs. Connally going to believe, The Warren Commission or her lying eyes?

As far as Mrs. Connally goes, she witnessed a very tragic and historic event. I can`t say anything more than that.

Interesting article - thanks for pinging me.

I find it interesting that there are some here who will dispute the words of someone who was actually in the car. Granted, Mrs. Connally is not a scientist or a ballistics expert, but she was there, on the scene and saw/heard what she saw/heard. She was also married to one of the victims; do we think they didn't talk?

There are many complex aspects of the SBT that have not, IMO, been taken into account. Given the shape of the area of Dealy Plaza and the number of buildings around it, acoustically, it would be very difficult to determine the direction from which any given sound emanated unless one was looking at the source of the sound. The surrounding tall structures on three sides of the plaza would cause the sound to echo and travel both upwards and out towards Stemmons Freeway. As the result of these acoustical patterns, it would be difficult for anyone to determine the actual source of the gunshots since ALL of them would sound as though they came from the direction of the TSBD or the jail due to the echo and reverberation of the sound.

Also, there is little that I have seen to suggest the possibility that shooters in front of the motorcade could have fired almost simultaneously; literally within microseconds of one another. Given the acoustics of the area, multiple shots, fired within microseconds of each other, could sound to the average individual like one shot. The three-shots report also precludes the use of silencers by those assassins in front of the motorcade. Silencers existed and were available in those days.

These aspects aside, the reaction of Kennedy's head to the "third" bullet that blew the back of his head off strongly suggests that the shot came from the front. For example, when 2 boxers are fighting and 1 clocks the other directly in the face, the boxer who was hit DOES NOT jerk his head forward, then back. His head will move backward in reaction to the blow, then will snap forward. This is exactly what JFK's head did after the final bullet struck him. There is no other plausible explanation for his head to react that way. That is the physical evidence that supports the theory that assassins were placed in front of the motorcade.

Of course it is. Who is Mrs. Connally going to believe, The Warren Commission or her lying eyes?

LOL

Well, her eyes certainly didn't see a bullet. She is remarking on her interpretation of reactions, nothing more.

As they say, "Ya hadda be there".......
