John F. Kennedy Assassination footage:

(11/22/63-11/25/63) JFK live TV assassination compilation set - took those many hours of NBC,CBS, and ABC news footage plus the local Dallas ABC WFAA-TV's coverage (plus other material), and edited chronology of the events as seen on live tv Nov.22-25, 1963. For example, during that hour from the time of the first bulletins to the offical announcement that the president was in fact dead, when you view this coverage, it "jumps" from network to network in the context of what was the latest development in this major breaking news story. In other words, whatever was "the best" live broadcast at that particular moment, was used. In the case that, say, CBS and ABC both were broadcasting something wanted for use, both were used, placing the one with the shorter running time first. In a few brief sequences, color home movies were included (Zapruder) but the compliation is really about how the events were seen on live television in 1963 - 7.5 hrs of live original footage on 4 DVDs - best compilation by far out there.

Local commentator smokes from the stress while on the air. (4.5 hrs footage from Friday), picks up Saturday morning, goes through Oswald shooting Sunday with lots of footage and funeral Monday.

Files who was in an Illinois prison for shooting an Illinois police officer. If you at all subscribe to the JFK conspiracy this is something you will want to see. Everyone has their own opinions and this does make you wonder. Here is a link to a discussion on the truth of this story and although arguments discrediting Files do make his story seem fishy you also have to wonder why this caused more threats and more documents getting changed?
