She consulted a priest on her desire to commit suicide. The only thing mentally keeping her from not doing it was the realization she had two little children who now only had her. She suffered greatly I'm sure, with nightmares, and wondering if she could have done something different that could have saved him. I read she received at least 750,000 letters of sympathy. She went public a few months later to thank those who wrote.
she couldn’t if you watch the video (it’s on yt) you can see jackie try to help him bend down but he couldn’t because he had a back brace on…. there was nothing anyone could do
When I was 10 years old, I saw a man die on the street. Saw him convulse before he took his last breath. I'm an old man now but I remember every detail as if it happened 5 minutes ago. I can't even imagine what Jackie felt and I can imagine pretty good.
Regardless of what people think actuallly happened that day (conspiracy vs. lone assassin) the fact remains a husband and father was brutally murdered beside his own wife. The killer(s) had no consideration of that whatsoever; to put that woman through such trauma was evil at its worst. Such monsters
@@zeeshandogar9406WHAT!!??!! I think you need to back and learn some history, do a lot of research on JFK’s assassination. How the hell did she bail!?! He watched her husband be gruesomely murdered right in front of her! When the second shot hit him she tried jumping on the trunk to collect his brain matter and skull, he slumped over into her lap and died. At the hospital she didn’t want to let him go, the Secret Service Agent assigned to her (Clint Hill) had to talk her into letting him go, and wouldn’t release her grip until he took his suit coat off and covered the presidents head and upper body. Jackie was absolutely very traumatized by that day, she had his blood speckled on her face and wore the dress and gloves that were covered in her husbands blood and brain matter as VP Johnson was sworn in as President. Agent Hill said when the first shot hit JFK she started screaming and then when the second shot hit and after trying to collect his brain & skull from the trunk, she said “oh they’ve shot his head off, I love you Jack!” She didn’t marry Onassis until five (5) years after JFK was murdered, do you really think that JFK would want her to just be alone for the rest of her life!?! Cause I don’t think so. Jackie is an amazingly strong woman, what she went through that day would destroy a person but somehow she persevered.
Absolutely correct! There never would have been a divisive, mass murdering Vietnam War if there was no coup d'etat. The NSAM #263 issued on Oct. 11, proves the plan was to remove the first 1,000 army advisors (no combat, fighting units in his presidency) by Dec. 31, and then the bulk of them out by 1965. After his re-election, so his enemies couldn't stop him from the withdrawal that he knew they craved. He wanted peace, but they (still do) wanted war.
Yeah, I've always felt more sorry for her than anybody - even when I was a kid. I mean, JFK died but it was fairly quick - she had to watch him die, take care of their kids, keep living, be the embodiment of a 20th century "first widow", etc. I mean, I have a pretty strong fear of death but I think having to live with all of that might be worse.
@@cav4988 Just that it seems like that would have been pretty traumatic for Jackie Kennedy. To watch her husband's head explode, to attend LBJ's swearing in on a plane while still covered in her husband's blood, to deal with the media and interviews, to have to raise her kids without their dad, etc. I mean, I know JFK was pretty much a womanizer but it still seems like all of that would have been hard on her anyway.
She must went through PSTD seeing her husband getting shot sitting right next to him. I can’t even imagine seeing that happening to my spouse in front of a cheering crowd.
She did have PTSD, it just wasn't recognised at the time. Jackie became a recluse, fixated with the idea that her children would be the next assassin's targets, saying "If they're killing Kennedys, my children are the next in line. I believe that was the main reason why she married Onassis - he was able to provide her with an island haven, plus all the security money could buy. It's such a shame PTSD wasn't really recognised back then. If she had only received psychiatric treatment for it, her subsequent life could have been very different.
One thing people too young to have lived in the 60's do not realize was how much most of us idolized the Kennedys. We had this young, brilliant, incredibly well spoken and motivating president with a young family and a beautiful, cultured wife we all wanted to look like. They were truly idolized and their every move followed. We were the envy of the free world. The closest one might come in recent history is the idolization of Princess Diana and our shock at her death. It was more than a president being murdered. At that moment we lost our innocence and all our hopes for the future.
I thought she was beautiful. I find it comical how white ppl talk about the new actress in The Little Mermaid movie because se has "far apart eyes" just like Jackie. I guess it's only considered beautiful when the person is white and haven't made white ppl "salty".
That was one of the worst days of my life ! I was 11 years old and thought he was great . For years I was depressed every November until my first grandchild was born in 1992 ! I'm now 71 and still miss him . Gail
The failure of the secret service to come clean and admit what happened has triggered the growing avalanche of mistrust in government threatening to destroy the country today.
Does it really matter who killed the president? What really matters is the incomprehensible evil of the act. What kind of mind, or minds, would do such a thing in front of so many men, women and children? Did the assassin or assassins stop to think Jackie could have been killed, too? I was 15 years old when that happened and I am still traumatized to this day.
Yes, it still matters! Most recognized now it was our government that killed him, with his turn toward peaceful co-existence with the USSR, Cuba, and other so-labeled enemies. After all, the U.S. and USSR were allies in WW2. So, why the hysteria and Cold War for the 18 years after to 1963, that at any time (re: 1962) could have turned 'hot', mass murdering hundreds of millions? Kennedy figured out after Oct. 1962, it wasn't worth the risk of the worst holocaust ever suffered on Earth with that mentality. Just going in our own separate ways, but armed to prevent a military invasion was all that was needed. As the wise Benjamin Franklin observed 170+ years before, "There is no such thing as a good war or a bad peace." And he was correct!
It does. My husband passed. I would have jumped in the ground with him, but had this young man aged 8 years old standing beside me. I put him ahead of me
She had to be strong for them and try to carry on as normal as possible under the circumstances. She even held a birthday party for John Jr. 10 days after burying Jack.
@@muc405 If I'm not mistaken, she had a small party for him on Monday the 25th, his 3rd birthday. After the funeral that same day. And then Caroline had her 6th birthday two days later, Wednesday the 27th. Robert, the Attorney General, had his 38th birthday the previous Wed. the 20th, before the trip to Texas.
I was but thirteen when President Kennedy was assassinated. It affected me profoundly, and I have always been interested in the president, his family, his horrific and untimely murder, and his enduring legacy. For decades now (I'm in my mid-70's), I've read from many, many sources that First Lady Jackie Kennedy's last words to her dying husband Jack in the back of the presidential limousine in Dallas on November 22, 1963 was "I love you, Jack!" I believe this was after she impulsively crawled out upon the rear deck of the limousine and had been pulled back to safety by one of the limo's onboard security personnel. I believe that -- at that moment in time -- she knew he was dying, and wanted to let him know of her devotion to him before she lost him forever. It was one of the saddest days of my young life... and it left indelible impressions on me, as well as a fascination with all things to know about President Kennedy from that day on... 😞
I once read a quote from JFK about jackie: "she can handle herself in a tough spot". talk about understatement. sometimes I wonder if he knew what was coming [on a subconscious level]
JFK was know to have said in his all-to-short presidency (and life) something to the effect that 'if someone really wanted to kill the President of the United States, all they would have to do is to take a rifle to an upper floor window of a building overlooking a street where the president's car was slowly progressing in a ceremonial motorcade' ... and in such a situation, there would little that anyone could do to prevent it.' ('not a direct quote, mind you... but essentially, that's what he was given to have said...). How sadly ironic that it was so prophetic.
She was so beautiful, I remember that sad day, I was 7 years old and was watching the TV when it happened, I remember my parents crying 😭 and then the world.
The sadness never leaves me and many who lived this nightmare. I was 6 1/2. And I remember! Pulled from our Catholic school in first grade after kneeling and praying in front of small square intercom I’ll never forget!
The death of a loved one is hard enough but the way Jackie experienced it was unimaginable to say the least. I was 5 years old when Kennedy was killed and remember everything very clearly. The very first time I saw Oswald on TV after being arrested I looked at my parents and said “he didn’t do it”, my parents obviously looked at me in a state of shock when I said that. At 5 years old I didn’t have any knowledge of people being framed or falsely accused of a crime, I just knew with every cell in my body that Oswald was innocent. Unfortunately, all these decades later, we still don’t know who actually killed Kennedy.
I remember EXACTLY what I was doing that day ,my younger brother abd i were home sick from school,our mother was working in her rose garden in our back yard ,we were watching cartoons ,abd then the person interrupted the broadcast ti say that JKF and Governer Connelly had been “ Cut diwn” we didn’t know what that meant ,then they said that he had been shot,we ran timtet our mother ,after the initial shock had worn off ,and they were escorting Lee Harvey Oswald out of his jail cell ,Jack Ruby gunned him down,I know that Jackie was never the same after that .
I agree it’s in front of our eyes she put the gun under his chin and pulled the trigger dropped the gun in his lap pushed him forward and acted like a damsel in distress
While I agree (and. I'm assuming You mean John Kennedy), the Fact is, a brutal murder was committed, possibly followed by others, and no one has been called to account. Even Lee Harvey Oswald, never got His "Day, in Court".
Actually, his heart continued to beat for a short while... but the great mind of the 35th US president was, indeed, gone forever within a second after the impact of the bullet that shattered his skull and tore through his brain. 😞
Come now people… she literally brings the man in close to her… says her last goodbyes or whatever.. puts the pistol underneath his chin… moves out of the way of the line of fire and blows his damn 🧠 out… the video is obviously doctored to hide what’s she’s holding which is why it is black… she scrambled probably to give the pistol to the other agent… but noooooo she picking up skull fragments?? Lmao bruh come on now… let’s be frfr
Envy was what took away the lives of many good man in recent history, in every race, creed and nation. It continues to this day via a different system.
I knew she wasn’t tryna jump out of the car because in the longer video you see her go right back to her husband.. with that being said I can’t imagine having to go on in life knowing in my husbands last moments his head was blown off in front of me. That is traumatizing.. I felt so bad for her.
God knows who was involved in killing JFK that day. LBJ was a tormented man after refusing to run for the Presidency as he retires from public service. His hate against the Kennedys was well known. So if he has any involvement in anyway in this he is now in the hands of so one more powerful than he was. He was a very revengeful man during his time in the House and Senate. History tells us that. I felt bad for Lady Bird and his daughters as everything revolved around his huge ego. He did some good things around children and civil rights. But the Viet Nam war was his downfall. Our country lost so many young peoples lives in it and the top brass strategy was all wrong. God bless all our fallen who were sacrificed there and their families who were hurt by this war. 😡🙏❤🥵‼️
He, more than any single individual, wrecked the 1960s by his corrupt, numerous bribes before allowing legislation to pass the Senate. His bribery stretched back to the start of his government years, 1937 as a Representative, then the illegal scheme to have him win the 1948 Senate primary with 200 fraud votes that changed an original 113-vote loss to an 87-votes "win." Bribing all the while to get wealthy on his small government salary. His bribery, corrupt dealings were well-known by insiders then. Continuing as Sen. Majority Leader, then as VP! He stopped the Civil Rights bill, as VP, so HE could later get the credit for it! His aide, Bobby Baker went to jail, that would have included #36, if he was not president. He knew that, and a key reason for his original plan for the Nov. 22 coup. He was egging Kennedy to visit Texas as early as May, under the guise of the "split" between Dem's. The split was exaggerated, the real reason to get Kennedy to Texas was to kill him there, where the VP, and his allies could control the conditions, police, their Mob allies (who also hated Kennedy, by Robert's war on organized crime). Carlos Marcello (New Orleans boss) was deported, and dumped in Central America. He vowed to get revenge. LBJ was NOT Kennedy's first pick for VP! Sen. Stuart Symington (MO) was chosen, had his speech prepared, but LBJ and friend FBI Director J.E. Hoover showed Kennedy his bio file they threatened to give to Nixon, unless LBJ was given the VP pick! This was not known by most of the public until years later. Bobby Baker said LBJ planned his takeover of the government in the July 1960 Dem convention. Baker knew LBJ would have Kennedy killed, as paid hitman Malcolm Wallace had already killed 7 men for LBJ, to advance his political career. Phillip F. Nelson, "LBJ: The Mastermind of the JFK Assassination" (2nd ed., 2013).
Autonomic physical reflexes... 'look it up. Many people who are rendered brain dead by a gunshot wound to the head still go on breathing and their heart still beats blood... 'usually not for very long .... but it takes a short while for the total (even violent) loss of the brain to cause heart and lung functions to cease.
She was strong anough . Help by her sister who present her to Onassis . She was wealthy . Donald Trump tried to introdice himself to her . She stopped him . She was a strong married woman dispite the infidelity of John Fitzgerald Kennedy
I live is south africa and followed all his speeches and wow is all i can say. I pray for our country for such a president. In south africa all we have left as boere people is our family daily we are being killed.
The end of The Days of Camelot, I was only 9 but will never forget nor believe our governments explanation. George Bush is the only person I ever heard say "he doesn't remember where he was when he heard".
If the Secret Service had been on the cars two rear bumper foot stands with hand griips the shots would have been blocked. JFK did not want them there because he wanted himself and Jackie to be seen. It was always said that the rear bumper foot stands were not in the right place to protect the President anyway. This video clearly shows where the rear bumper foot stands were and would have protected the President. Also, it was always very obtuse about how Clint Hill got onto the back of the car with Jackie. Earlier windows of the footage show him riding on the side of the back up car. Somehow he managed to run up and jump on JFK's car stepping onto the bumper footstand and leaping onto the back of the car. Many accounts had him somehow walking along. So many strange stories. Strange these bumper stands were never brought up or revealed in the hundreds and hundreds of footage and photos I saw about the assasination. The bumper stands that were not there are there. Very mysterious. The hand rail to hang on is clearly visible on the right side of the car. More disproven conspiracy stories. It just goes on and on. Emory Roberts rode shotgun in the back up car head of the Secret Service Detail that day at Dealey Plaza. When the President got shot, Emory Roberts was in charge thereafter. Nobody ever talks about that. He took charge of everything, and immediately got Johnson onto Air Force One to leave Dallas and be sworn in going to Washington or if necessary a safe place to protect him. Emory was my neighbor in Wheaton, Md. on Holdridge Rd. Most of this is in Dealey Plaza - The End of Camelot by William Wells In the early morning it was scheduled to rain in Dallas and the Secret Service was setting up to install the canopy on the car. The forecast changed and the President wanted to be seen by the crowds, and besides the President did not want ir put on. So it was not put on. So as to not make JFK negligent in his death, it was bandied about that there were no foot stands on the rear of the car for Secret Service to ride on. Clearly you can see two foot stands on the rear bumper of the car with handrails to hang on. Clint Hills is stepping on one to get onto the back of the car to be with Jackie. There is just bogus story after bogus story surrounding JFK's assasination.
JFK didn't like the Secret Service agents riding on the bumper foot stands as it blocked him being seen longer by all of the crowds. There's video of them leaving Love Field and Hill and the other agency (forgetting his name) were waved away by FJK from riding on the limo foot stands as they picked up speed. As for Clint Hill, don't know what reports or stories this poster read, but it's well known from various videos that Hill and the agent on JFK's side were going back and forth from their car to the limo as the crowds got thinner or heavier eg to either push people back off the street or back away from getting too close to the Kennedys. Hill got back on the agent car when the crowd was thinning as they turned on to Dealey Plaza (which meant that the motorcade would be picking up speed to get on to the freeway up ahead). He heard one or more of the shots and reacted by jumping down and running to protect Jackie (she was his protectee). He caught up to the presidential car because the agent driving it slammed on the brakes reflexively for a second when he heard the shots, a bad reflex in the situation. When the agent then speeds up Hill in video looks like he's barely hanging on, he wound up spread-eagled over JFK holding on to parts of the car. I don't remember any reports or stories about there being no foot stands on the limo, it always had foot stands, sounds like a conspircy story that someone threw out.

At Zapruder frame Z250, the bullet from the second floor of Dal-Tex (at the Dallas Uraniium and Oil Company, a CIA front) penetrated the back of JFK's skull an inch to the right of the external occipital protuberance and a quarter inch up. It shredded through his right brain stopping to the right of the vomer (internal nose) bone and left of the right eye socket. It rendered him immediately comatose, which is why at Z251 and beyond he is dropping his arms and hands. He didn't fall over right away because he was supported by the right door, on his left by Jackie holding up his left elbow, and also was supported by his back brace. Umbrella Man didn't see the collapse or the quantity of blood he was hoping for, so he signalled for more shots. Had he not signalled, had he recognized JFK was in the desired coma status, things would have gone differently. The purpose of the Z206 right shoulder shot was to get JFK to flinch high for the Z220 forehead shot, but it dropped eleven inches too low into his throat. Had it gone correctly and put JFK into a coma from the front, and had he collapsed sooner, perhaps Umbrella Man would not have signalled for the megablaster shots. If the original plan had been followed, with only a forehead shot at Z220 and maybe the Z250 shot, JFK would have been stabilized in Trauma Room #1 then sent upstairs to neurosurgery. He would have ended up in intensive care, where John Liggett (mortuary plastic surgeon who was lurking around, see The Men Who Killed Kennedy) would have dummied up the forehead shot into a faked shot from the rear. Earl Rose, hired only in June 1963, would have been fed a tampered JFK corpse and sincerely but innocently believed all shots had come from the rear. The bigger shots were on tap and didn't really have to be invoked but they were, so the overly bloodied and damaged JFK corpse had to be fed to an autopsy at Bethesda for that standby option. There, Humes crushed and sawed 6 entrance and exit bullet holes into one big hole, "explainable" by one bullet.
Oh, mi stavo dimenticando. Andai a prendere altre scarpe al santuario della madonna delle olivette di arenzano dove e' il museo oceanografico e navale di genova. Vi mando il filmato. Solo non mi ricordo dove le ho messe. Alla fine, come detto, stanca, sfinita, esausta, esasperata ed esacerbata, andai a prendere le scarpe direttamente in comune, un comune del sud e oggi molto degradato, il comune di sorrento.
