I'm standing on the road where Kennedy was struck with the fatal shot looking at the 6th floor Snipers Den.


 I am standing on the concrete pedestal exactly where Abraham Zupruter was,  when he was filming the assassination of JFK. I am looking at the exact location where the fatal shot struck Kennedy.   GPS Coordinates from here are: N32:46:750 W096:48.532 taken May 12, 2005 at 2:50 P.M..


I am still standing on the concrete pedestal looking at the white car that approaching the location where Kennedy was stuck with the first bullet. 


This picture was taken on the ground right in front of the concrete pedistal.


Some claim a stray bullet struck and made a mark this over pass concrete.  Note the train above.  When I leave Dallas, my Amtrak train stopped in the same location providing  me another view of a Daeley Plaza perspective.


Looking back at the location where Kennedy took the first bullet.


Looking up Reunion Tower is truly a Dallas landmark about 50 stories in height and is part of the Hyatt Regency Hotel complex at Reunion Tower.


I looked for that bullet mark, but could not see anything obvious.


  Walking back, checking out the grassy knoll area.


Other tourist checking out behind the Zapruter pedestal location.


The green painted area on the fence is the location where many people believe the fatal shot was fired from, including me.

I am at this fence location and the red car is exactly where Kennedy was hit with the fatal shot.  Watch the Zupruter film several times, paying attention to the shot impact and head movement of JFK.  Note the velocity and movement impact of JFK's head.  Common sense and simple physics can not make you believe that the fatal shot came from the 6th floor. The Discovery Channel program claims the head would move backward if struck from behind, since their water melon experiment that was struck from behind splattered backward.  They offered this lame experimentation as proof.  First, the water melon was not attached to a neck and body.  Second the structure and mass is completely different than a human living skull.  Third, the balance of the melon has a lot to do with what direction it will move when struck.  Visit this location and watch the Zapruter film, It will make a believer out of you.  Also, there were photos and witnesses seeing a man with a rifle in this area. These facts can not be disputed by anyone.


I went to the over pass area.  You can see the railroad tracks toward Dallas Union Station.


  This is a view from the overpass.  This area was apparently guarded during the motorcade.


  Another picture from the overpass.


From the overpass, looking at the Reunion Tower and the Hyatt Regency.


A DART (Dallas Area Rapid Transit) trains that serves this area.  I just don't have enough in Dallas to going exploring the city on it, which I like doing in the major cities.
