Dealey Plaza 1/24 Scale Model 
Problem: No proof and few facts to determine the trajectories of the wounds sustained by President John F. Kennedy, Governor John Bowden Connally, and James Thomas Tague on November 22, 1963. Solution: Build a scale model of Dealey Plaza using a precision laser measurement tool to determine the distances and angles of the trajectories, using unaltered films and photos made during the assassination to determine points of reference. Purchase a 1/24th scale 1961 Lincoln X-100 from LiveCarModel.com, which I found to be a genuine, accurate model. Then use that scale model to prove or disprove if the shots came from that infamous sixth floor window of the (then-named) Texas School Book Depository building. Summary of results: This 1/24th scale model of Dealey Plaza shows irrefutably that, not only is it possible for all three shots fired in Dealey Plaza on November 22, 1963 to have come from that sixth-floor window, it suggests that it is impossible for the shots that struck JFK and Connally to have come from any other place. Details of results: The first shot missed. All but a couple of holdouts understand this, but whether it deflected off the traffic light arm, or if it was a misfire that landed on the seat behind Kennedy, or if it was planted evidence, changes nothing. When Connally heard the shot he turned around to his right to face JFK (to his right because the rumble seat he sat upon was positioned slightly to Kennedy’s left). As he turned around, he also leaned over to his left, toward the middle of the car. That's when the second shot passed through JFK's neck, damaging C6 (the 6th cervical vertebrae) and caused JFK’s arms to flex at the elbow with his hands to his neck, which is commonly referred to as Thorburn’s Position. From Zapruder’s point of view, this second shot happened as Kennedy was behind a large traffic sign, which is no longer there. JFK is already going into Thorburn’s Position as he emerges from behind the sign, so anyone’s best guess when the bullet struck JFK is Zapruder frames 222, 223, or 224. I used 223 in my calculations for the strike. The Thorburn’s reaction also thoroughly establishes the location of this wound on Kennedy, as this reaction only happens when there is damage to C6. I used that reference to estimate the strike-to-street distance, height, and angle. The bullet passed through Kennedy’s neck, exited his throat, nicking the knot on his necktie, and continued through the Lincoln’s rumble seat. It entered the right side of Connally's torso near his right shoulder and exited under his right nipple (the governor was still turned around to partially face JFK with his right arm folded across his waist) through his right wrist and then then lodged in his left thigh. (And, no, that bullet did not fall out of Connally’s thigh, barely deformed, and get labeled CE399 for the Warren Report.) If you could somehow freeze time, put a laser pointer in the wound in Connally’s thigh, and point through the other six open wounds, all seven of those holes would line up perfectly with the sniper’s perch in the sixth-floor window of the Texas School Book Depository building. (See the photos of the 1/24th scale model.) There is no need to invent evidence that requires multiple shooters. At this point, Tague had not yet been wounded, and with the first two shots accounted for, one landing in the street or misfiring into the back seat of the Lincoln, and the other stopped in Connally’s thigh, that leaves the third and final shot as the possible source of Tague’s wound. That third shot smashed through part of JFK's skull. Still reacting from the wound in his neck, President Kennedy was looking down approximately 45° to 50 ° and turned slightly to his left. This can be seen in frame 312 of the Zapruder film. (See the photo of that section of frame 312 on this page. The next frame of Zapruder’s film, 313, shows the impact.) The bullet knocked his head forward violently before the infamous “back and to the left” motions. These are infamous because people focus on those two movements, which are much slower, and ignore the first, much faster forward motion. (Why? So they can justify the fabricated evidence of an additional shooter? I don’t understand those motives.) As that last projectile slammed Kennedy’s head forward, it knocked pieces of skull from the back/top/right side of his head. This caused JFK’s head to slam forward, then bounce back and to his left (because the shot originated from behind and slightly to his right). That bullet deflected slightly when it hit human bone, and then passed through the windshield, deflecting again slightly off the frame of the windshield, and hit the curb near James Tague by the triple overpass. The bullet was deflected again, and either struck Tague’s cheek or caused a dislodged piece of concrete to strike Tague's cheek. Some people will ignore many of these facts and remind everyone that X number of people heard more than three shots, or thought the shots were fired from in front of Kennedy. They will not mention that even more people (X*2.5 to X*3, depending on how you interpret ambiguous statements) swore that they heard the shots coming from the Texas School Book Depositary building. Other witnesses claimed they saw plain-clothed officers returning fire, or heard five or more shots. The witness statements are unreliable. At least one third of their testimonies contradicts another third. We are required to channel our inner detectives and apply pure logic, like I’ve done with my 1/24th scale Dealey Plaza. The logic mapped out here shows that any further discussion that involves sources of gunfire from anywhere other than the sixth-floor window of the Texas School Book Depository building is spreading misinformation/disinformation. Whether someone is an amateur detective, an author trying to sell books, or a CIA agent trying to cover up the truth, we owe it to John F. Kennedy to let the truth be known. No more misinformation/disinformation. Second (neck) shot 1/24th scale photos:
