Never forget this time. I give anything for this era. Without the murder of Pres Kennedy. God bless my dad. He kept the entire neighborhood together during this sad time. RIP dad you were my hero. You died too young also only 50y when you died in 1979.
@snoops71 Jackie Kennedy married Mr. Onasis because if his money, not because she was in love with him. Therefore she is NOT a great woman after all.
@tutango16 Isn't it just a little inappropriate to talk about her in this way on a video that shows her husband's funeral? That's pretty tasteless. Besides, when Chet Huntley made that statement, Onassis wasn't even as issue. What about Onassis himself? He had to have known Jackie didn't love him, so why did he marry her? He didn't have to.
@snoops71@snoops71 Both of them are guilty, I read their story and he was Maria Callas' boyfriend but he dumped her for Jackie. Then Jackie knowing what he had done, accepted him anyways becuase he was filthy rich. I used to be a fan of that Jackie but after I learned what she had done to the Onassis Family, my eyes were opened.
@tutango16 Well that may be true. She wasn't the best step-mom to Christina, or so I heard, but he was the fool to let her in his family to start with. It was his job to protect his family.
I still say this discussion should have started on another video. Watching this is sad enough.
Hello. @ :40 there is a group of soldiers standing at attention. Does anyone know of anyway to figure out what outfit that was? My Father was one of those soldiers in the procession and was in that area when Jackie was getting into the car.
I believe that I was in the 1st grade at the time this happened and I do too remember it being on all night , I kept asking my mom when Bonanza was coming on and she kept trying to explain to me what was going on but I was so young then and just didn't understand what was going on , but seeing this again brings it all back for me .
As you saw, NBC had Frank McGee do a voice-over to announce Oswald's death. CBS waited until Mrs. Kennedy's car had left the Capitol area and did a full cut-in with Walter Cronkite. For the rest of the day and night all 3 networks cut back and forth between the Capitol and Dallas.
On that Sunday, coverage of Ruby shooting Oswald also consumed much of the coverage. I remember every second of that horrible weekend, and just can't believe that 46 years have passed. I still miss him and the idealism and intelligence of those days of the early 1960s. An event that marked our lives for those of us who rememeber where we were when he heard the news.
Makes you wonder: For the rest of that sunday, was that all they showed? Mourners filing past the casket while classical music played in the background? I heard NBC stayed on the air all night showing this.
I was seven years old at the time, and vaguely remember periods when the networks would fill time with classical music while showing visuals of the scenes in Washington, including scenes of the crowds filing past the casket in the Capitol rotunda.
