Dealey Plaza 1/24th Scale Model 
Problem: One of the many problems encountered while trying to understand the truth about the Kennedy assassination is the need to determine the trajectories of the bullets in Dealey Plaza on November 22, 1963. The enormous amount of misinformation/disinformation makes it even more difficult to understand. Solution: My solution was to build a scale model of Dealey Plaza to help determine the trajectories. I purchased precision laser measuring equipment, made yet another trip to Dealey Plaza, and used unaltered films and photos made that day to determine points of reference. I then purchased a 1/24th scale Presidential 1961 Lincoln Continental from LiveCarModel.com, which I found to be a genuinely accurate model that had all the key features correct, including the rumble seats where Governor and Mrs. Connally sat. (Sadly, NEARLY ALL researchers have Connally in the wrong place.) Next, I built a minimalistic 1/24th scale model of Dealey Plaza and used a laser pointer to prove that all three shots HAD to have come 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 to have come from that infamous 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 few holdouts understand this, but whether it was a misfire that landed on the seat behind Kennedy, which is the most likely scenario, or if the bullet deflected off the traffic light arm, or was planted evidence, changes nothing. When Connally heard the shot, he turned around to his right to face JFK. He turned to his right because the rumble seat where he sat was positioned slightly left of where Kennedy sat. As he turned around, he also leaned back 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 it's 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 entrance wound on Kennedy, as this reaction only happens when there is damage to C6. I used that reference, along with the known location of the exit wound 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 on. 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.) The bullet continued through Connally's right wrist and 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 at approximately 45 degrees and 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 have been conditioned to focus only on those two movements, which are much slower than the first forward motion. People focus on the second and third motion, but ignore the first forward motion. (Why? To justify the fabricated evidence of an additional shooter?) As that last projectile knocked 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 (obviously, 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, 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 eyewitness statements are unreliable. At least one third of their testimonies contradicts another third. Many are wildly inaccurate. We can't believe the ones we WANT to believe, or ignore just the ones we disagree with. We have to ignore them all. 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:
