45 years later, this is all still surreal.

It's a terrible thing for the country when any

President is shot, but Kennedy was such a genuinely pleasant, affable, charming man that

people felt deep grief. I can't imagine a similar reaction if Lyndon Johnson or Richard

Nixon had been shot.

Although almost 50 years have passed since this tragic event, it lives still in our minds and in our everyday lives.

Please rejoice in the knowledge that he has lived and worked in our own lifetime (or have had a positive impact on our lives, in case you were born after 22 November 1963) .

@AnneLiesveld would more clearly show the plane along with casket etc. I think it is a profoundly telling photo of all the effort done to care for this person at obviously his time of need and it isn't like He would care at that point so that isn't their motivation. Obviously it is love for them and showing respect for JKO and that picture so poignantly does it that I LOVE IT! (in a creepy way because that isn't a fun photo to love. Any suggestions on where to find the photo bigger and clearer?

@AnneLiesveld JFK weight or not but it is like DANG (and I probably should say worse) if it is just casket weight that is 900 lbs! I wouldn't have a clue! That picture of Secret service or whoever escorting JFK onto AF1 for his last ride as a human on earth is just so POIGNANT to me (and I am a 80 baby so it has nothing to do with that!) I really wish for my power point pictures (all presidential people near Air Force plane I could find that picture a little bit bigger than I have so that it

I found recently a photo of the casket being lifted onto air force one and while I can't say it is an "enjoyable picture" to see it spoke volumes (atleast a thousand words to me) as I am perfecting (this week) my speaking skills about Air Force #1 (aka JFK or LBJ or WJC's plane) or Nixon's or whoever rode that plane since the 60's. but to see that picture of them loading the coffin/casket and then you realize that (according to my book it was like upwards of 900 lbs (don't know if that is with

@TheOldrob ....Bad Karma will come your way someday for saying something like that.

I was 13 that afternoon. I remember it was a warm sunny day, and I went outside to see a plane overhead many miles high. I wondered if it was 26000 and waved at it. At 6pm this live coverage was shown. It was exactly like this; the resolution was terrible but that was what we had back then. We didn't sleep well that night because no one knew what it all meant, maybe we still do not.

The TV camera lights were turned off so the pilot would not be blinded.

@andrelebaron so when Kennedy met Krushchev in 61 it somehow started the missile crises in 62? weird. yea JFK was on drugs a lot he suffered more pain in his life then john mccain did, except he wouldnt show it. the missile crises came about after the bay of pigs, castro begging for protection, JFKs promise in miami to get the anti castro cubans their flag back in a "free havana" and the CIA's op. mongoose. JFK wasnt a myth. Truman started the whole National Sec. State which cause these problems
