Thanks for the extensive tour! I've always wanted to go there and see all the potential locations of the assassins in person including the wall, fence, the storm drain near the steps and the sewer entrance at the top of the hill where the fence joins the triple underpass. What is amazing is to see how "intimate" - ie: small - the area is. It was definitely picked out as a "shooting gallery". Very sad. RIP JFK.
Thanks for the footage I remember when I went I couldn't get over how small the surroundings were. My friend said he could of hit the president with a rock. Godspeed JFK
if oswald really killed kennedy he would of shot when he was coming towards him not when he is right beside the underpass moving away from him its obvious there was more than 1 assassin
I think everyone is struck at how smaller the place seems when you first visit it. During the filming, there is a note that says the poster was surprised at how close the Depository window that Oswald shot from was to the place where Kennedy was killed.
That is one reason I think everyone should try to visit this spot. When you do, you can clearly see how easy it would have been for Oswald to do what he did.
It is a shame that building wasn't locked down like it should have been.
From the book Ultimate Sacrifice I just learned that November 22, 1963 was not JFK's first visit to Dealey Plaza! He rode through the plaza in a motorcade during the 1960 campaign. How cool would it be to see movies of that?
Your right. I saw this fact just a week or so ago on a Discovery Channel program. I was off because of reading some false information elsewhere. Will update this annotation as soon as I can. Thanks for the notice.
Great video - I like the way you've put in the little text bubbles. I was taken there after I went to the North Texas Irish Festival. Is it just me, but the bounciness gives it a kind of three dimensional quality? b0dhran
I always imagined as a kid what it would of been like if I could go back in a time machine to that School Book Depository for just a half hour or so at about noon November 22, 1963. Could I have prevented the assassination? Further still....out of curiosities sake. Would Lee Harvey Oswald even be there at that window?
The professional cameras were actually much better in 1963 than today's video. The reason you don't have any thing but bad blurred, silent home movies of the assassination is because in that death motorcade the camera car was placed behind the President where they could not film Kennedy. First time it happened in a JFK motorcade. Just another one of those "coincidences," not to be investigated As you read in the bubble.- i was all Oz acting by his lonesome,
I want to go there so bad. But I hate flying and it would take like 11 hours to get there from where I live. :(

There always seem to be wooden planks missing from the picket fence. I guess people take them as souvenirs.

I wonder why they removed the shrubbery from surrounding the concrete structures at the head of Dealey Plaza?
