Fuck no my grandma was working down the street from where he got shot she said a lot of people were crying and saying the president got shot they stopped working and watched the news she wasent no lil bitch tho idk why you would cry if the president got killed I mean it’s very sad yes but I’m not gonna cry if trump got killed I know he wouldn’t if I got killed
My grandmother was a teenager when JFK was killed. She told me the day President Kennedy died, she was in high school. When his death was announced, she could hear a wail from the hallway and nearly everyone was upset by the news, including herself. Sad a great man was taken from us so soon.
hippiecheezburger .....I love JFK, but FDR was the most loved. He was more of a father to the country than even Washington. With JFK, it was sad that we and he was cheated. Had he lived, there would have been no Vietnam, no hippie generation which led to drugs and single mothers, etc....
Exactly right. We have all been ripped off and lied to so much about his death and Vietnam.....how in the hell can America go from JFK to LBJ,Nixon,Bubba, and Trump. It's beyond pathetic .
In middle school , the news broke over the intercom. All of the teachers ran to the hallway, crying. We were sent home early that day and the bus driver was crying, too. At the tender age of 12, I felt the heaviness of total communal shock and deep, deep sorrow. It was the saddest day I remember. John F. Kennedy was a once in a lifetime president. We won't see another like him.
The most chilling thing about this video is the lady in the sunglasses. Everyone in the USA knows what happened to the president, but her reaction is raw, real, and timeless.
same here. born in 57 and was 6 when he was shot. I remember very well that day, walking home from school that was let out early and seeing neighbors outside talking to each other
@@Nick-go1es if you heard an important person die I bet you would still get shivers even after 50 years. So stop acting like such a tough guy and gtfo here.
BerfitsV2 Holy shit. I liked JFK, but he was cut down before he could prove himself a great president. He was a martyr, that's why the world thinks he was so great. He was a martyr the second the bullet hit him in Dallas. But he wasn't the greatest.
+Apocalypse Plough JFK ASSASSINATION WAS PROOF PEOPLE CANT TELL REALITY FROM FANTASY...AS KING OF HEARTS DIES. JFK ASSASSINATION WAS SIMPLE REVERSE MIRRORING AND PATTERNING ADAPTATION OF "ALICE IN WONDERLAND" ...LHO BROUGHT ALICE TO KILL KING OF HEARTS
I wonder would have happened if JFK didnt die what would the 1960s be then and we wouldn't go into Vietnam that's for sure but it's sad to hear and now in 2017 with the country going to hell JFK would rolling over his grave if he knew what was happening now! I weep for the future and other generations along with it! GOD HELP US ALL! Were living in scary times right now!
I absolutely agree. I've been to the Vietnam Wall in Washington D.C. a few times and every time I thought the same thing. Kennedy was a true leader and I really believe that war wouldn't have escalated the way it did if he had lived. So sad.
back when it took courage to announce an influencal persons death. nowadays if somebody gets killed you'll have TMZ reporting on it and a bunch of people recording their body and posting it on social media saying "WTF RIP"
My grandmother was 11 when this happened. She remembers it being all over the news. She told me about how the school she went to dismissed early when the news broke out. Even though I personally was not alive then, I can't imagine all the pain his family and the people who were close to him had to deal with
I loved John f. Kennedy. I was in 5th grade when I heard the news. What a tragedy!!! Didn't understand at such a young age but they sent us all home from school..from what I remember. He was my favorite President and I'm 68 years old now❤
I still get a chill down my back watching these news bulletins. I was 10, in fifth grade in New York.. They sent us home from school early. In my house it was like a death in our own family. Father and mother in shock, tears.
My grandma was in college when this happened. She said that everyone was watching the TV to see the announcement, and when it was announced she and everyone else were shocked and horrified, and the college cancelled all the classes and sent everyone home.
You will always be remembered! Dallas will never forget you we even have a memorial spot painted on the ground where he was shot in the car it haunts me every time me and my family pass it and it gets repainted every year🙏 rip president
When most people dressed properly, knew how to behave, had sympathy and empathy, etc. Today, for example, many folks go to funerals in shorts, tank-tops, and sandals.
I was born in ‘95...no where near JFK’s time in office...and I have come to the conclusion that if more democrats were like JFK and more republicans were like Ronald Reagan...then maybe myself and the rest of the world wouldn’t scoff and belittle politics today. My country has fallen from grace..
Please no more Republicans like Reagan, I'd much rather see a Republican that was like that of Eisenhower. Reagan's presidency was horrible and moved the country backwards.
Reaganomics started to ruin our country..and he and Nancy consulted with astrologers for advice on national issues..truth..and he also wanted to make ketchup to be made a vegetable in the school lunch programs ..no Ronnie..ketchup is a condiment..how cheap of him..he didn't care about the kids.
@@UnlimitedRailOfficial I remember watching a interview with a secret service men and he said that that salute image made a lot of really professional tough guys cry
This guy annnouncing it you can tell he wanted to cry so bad. He looked so heartbroken having to tell the world that cammander and chief is dead. Rip jfk
Back then we were genuinely upset when someone as important as the president died from something as horrible as an assassination. Now, were politically divided and wish the worst upon anybody who may disagree with our views. It's sad.
Hello Ally . How do you think are Our Nations doing Today ? Britain isn’t Britain Any More , USA isn’t USA any longer . And Only Americans and Brits are responsible for this .
My sophomore biology class fell silent as it was announced to us. It seemed like a very very long time before any sound was made. We didn’t know how to communicate our sadness any other way.
I believe that is none other than the late NBC News journalist Edwin Newman making the announcement of JFK's death over the radio during the first 21 seconds of the video (at least it sounds a lot like him).
how come you can`t find the the complete announcement where at the conference where the announcer points to the right temple where the bullet struck jfk ive seen videos where that part has been removed
My father was walking home from elementary school when this happened, and his brother was crying. Apparently an early dismissal. My grandmother was watching it on a black and white t.v.
It really is sad to see the woman’s reaction to the news and Malcolm Kilduff give the news while seemingly trying not to tear up. Even 60 years later it’s still tragic just to think about.
Very sad but I felt it for Jackie O. That poor lady was right there besode him and the photo of her covered in his blood while they swear the other guy in is just haunting.
I was sitting in my first grade class, our teacher was called out into the hall. A few minutes later she came back into the classroom crying and announced PRESIDENT Kennedy had been assassinated in Dallas.
I too was in first grade. My teacher, too, answered a knock on our classroom door and stepped into the hallway. The person who had come to our door was our principal. I can't remember if my teacher was crying when she came back into the classroom. I can't remember exactly how she told us, what words she used. Then she told us to put our heads down on our desks and say a prayer for the president, and then she turned out the classroom lights. After a few minutes, she turned the lights back on, and we lifted our heads up again. And she said that we would now be getting ready to go home. Many people who were in school that day say they were dismissed early, which would be very likely, of course. I live in the East, and I think that by the time we got the news (and the confirmation) and were dismissed from school, it was almost the normal time to go home anyway. My teacher's name was Mrs. Smith. Our principal's name was Mr. Scalise. The school was Public School #30, on Otis Street, in Rochester, NY.
Funny how they always cut the part where he says JFK was shot and points to his temple. And how they don't show Oswald looking at Ruby in recognition right before Ruby steps out and shoots him.
Kennedy From what I’m told from the older generations was truly a man to united country, a man who had set much change to the land he lived in, and a man who was moanful when he was lost
Yes, but you have not shown Malcolm Kilduff pointing to his right forehead and saying it "was a simple matter of a bullet to the forehead"-or words to that effect-and that tells you where the gunman was (one of them)
Robert MacNeil was the NBC News correspondent in Dallas that day. He was on the phone with Frank McGee and the TV crew and has to tell the world what he saw just from being a few yards away. 😔
Mac Kilduff was supposed to be leaving the White House press pool after they got back from Texas. He wanted to be with this family after losing a toddler drowning in their backyard pool that summer. He ended up sitting with Mrs. Kennedy on most of that flight by the casket and talking about their lost children from that summer as she lost her preemie Patrick around the same time.
I think there was an additional layer of fear that caused the sadness in normal citizens. Fear of what the presidents death might mean, fear of what could potentially happen now.
