"You really can not calculate trajectory angles based on a 2 dimensional piece of film."

I agree, but I never suggested you could. All you need is the data.

"You would have to create a 3 dimensional model of the road and downward slope, car, building, and position of the people in the car to determine if the bullet came from the 6th floor. A computer graphic designer actually did that using a 3d program. And it was his determination that JFK was shot from the 6th floor. Here is a link to the man's site. Very interesting work. I do not believe anyone else has tried this to this detail."

I've seen other 3-D models as well and some re-enactments. They all fail. The usual "workaround" is to reposition JFK's body to get a match. At this site if you look at their own pictures it's negates what they say in their analysis. The neck entrance wound and the neck exit wound clearly establishs a very low trajectory. The only question is the position of the body. If you take the body position from the Zapruder film, the shot does not match.

Indeed, the the illustration of the trajectory cone they use showing the bullet exiting JFK is much lower than it actually was. The exit wound has to be moved down several inches or JFK's body has to be tilted much further forward to get a trajectory match. Neither of which matches with the reality of the Zapruder film.

On one hand you agree with me you can not create trajectories with a piece of film but then at at the end of your reply you state you can with the Zapruder film.
