She didn't take it off that day because, as she said, she wanted them to "see what they did to Jack". Both of her kids had their birthday that week (Nov.25 & 27). She had their birhday parties to try to keep things "normal". She was one incredibly strong woman.
Wasn’t John John’s birthday on the same day his father was laid to rest though? And Robert Kennedy’s was the 20th, 2 days before his brother’s death 😥💔
Jackie had to keep that suit on. I think psychologically it would have been traumatizing to take it off too soon. And yes the image of the blood stained suit really made an impression. People needed to see that.
The word "them" I say she knew it was not just one it was many I'm not saying she was apart of his death I just think she did not think it was possible that it was one person.
You could see family seeing it that way. In one way it is historical record and in another way a personal decision. Her call. Personally if it were my family I would like the evidence displayed, as it hiding any truth about it is insufficient catharsis, which is deeply needed with respect to these events. And when the truth is known some years down the road, these reflections of it, are symbols or resistance to that tyranny which his death represents. No matter what else has been achieved by those who took part in this travesty in the execution of government power, they made some deep and fundamental mistakes here. It was just lusting after power caused these events.
Jackie must have been roasting in that suit. I originally thought that the suit was more of a soft pale pink with black trim, which would have looked beautiful; however it was more shocking pink with a dark blue(navy) trim. I am glad the suit has been saved and not tossed away. Would love to see it in a museum but I know that would be crossing the line of respect for Jackie and her husband.
roman14032 the country was in such a sad state that when the Beatles came along and we saw something that we could laugh at it helped to popularize them the hairstyles the accents the music and their General silliness it helped us to someone put the JFK thing behind us
I totally agree. I was only 12 years old when JFK was assassinated and our world has never been the same. I’m almost 70 now and I can still see the TV screen and it seems like it happened last week.
lol Started waaaaay back with the robber barrons.... Even Eisenhouwer knew something was wrong... And sadly almost nobody knows about Smedly Butler... The guy the elite hired to take over Roosenvelt in a coup... He brought it to court.. but nothing was done about it and the media has swept it under the rug since then... RESEARCH Smedley Butler... A REAL AMERICAN HERO..
basically a psyc op by the cia to control everyone in that country and other countries as well full stop? otherwise all the files in every government department which has anything to do with jfk no matter how small the document is would have been released but the CIa still golds over 2,500 files which could be millions of pages still at the CIA, but more importantly NARA has those documents scanned, just not released to the public and its way past Lee H OSWALD did alone time people he had nothing to do with it at all, he did not shoot a weapon at all that day.:)
@@russellcrawford7453 sorry, the Beatles didn't 'help' this country recover from squat. They infused enthusiasm into music that became stale. That is it.
Poor Jackie, standing in her elegant suit with her husband's blood covered all over it and herself while photos were being taken and LJ sworn in as president. She is and was one tough and poised First Lady. So so very heartbreaking and sad for her and this country. In my opinion LJ had everything to do with JFK's death.
The world say, " yes 100 % " this animal killed their beloved President JFK. They curse the five killers going to terribly hot hot hells forever. If be back they'll become dirty pigs going to the butchers or choppers endlessly.
Although I was only in 1st grade when JFK was assassinated, even then, I could sense that the mood of the nation began changing. In many respects, the nation lost it's innocence.
You're so right. She held a piece of his brain in her hand at the hospital and gave it to one of the doctors as if it could put him back together again. Just too sad for words.
TakeBackAmerica2012 Some say that when she handed over the piece of skull she actually said that she hoped it would help. I can't imagine how helpless and frightened she must've felt in that moment.
I have heard people criticize her for not changing out of the blood stained suit right away. For crips sake the woman had just experienced a mega traumatic event. She was a zombie in the initial hours afterward
I admire Jackie so much.symbol of class,strength,grace,style,elegance.she was one of kind.and one of most iconic woman ever.she was just beautiful and intelligent as hell and suffered great deal through her life.LOVE her.whatever you think of JFK,he and Jackie were truly one of most iconic couples ever and of 20th century.
I think she walked with grace at a time when we were all in shock her husband killed in front of everyone walked behhind his casket to the grave yard saw him put in the ground and still had to go home and put on a smile for her sons birthday she had to meet world leaders and represent the country she wore many hats that day and did it well. We asked a lot and she did her best. Thats y we remember her. I dont know if i could have done it with so much grace.
Muhammad Saeed Memon--You haven't read many biographies about her, have you? Let's see...while married to JFK, she had a liaison with an Italian in Italy (where she spent a summer); Maria Callas (Aristotle Onassis's mistress) was livid about Jackie's relationship with Onassis during a sojourn on his yacht. Then there was the affair she had with Bobby in the aftermath of the assassination. That's just for starters. She was not a "loyal" wife--and JFK wasn't a faithful husband and a "marvelous lady" she was not. She was a gold-differ extraordinare and, if Aristotle Onassis hadn't died when he did, he was about to DIVORCE her high-living arse.
lol... Their marriage was kind of a scam sadly... Or they were so modern they had an open marriage... I always say JFK was a lousy husband.. but damn could that man lead
Some kind of Entity--Lead? You Kennedy sycophants crack me up. None of them were/are anything more than over-indulged spoiled brats. If JFK hadn't been assassinated, he would have ended his presidency being vilified for nearly embroiling us in WW III. Perhaps you are far too young to remember Americans being advised to build bomb shelters and being taught how to survive a nuclear holocaust (good luck with that one). I remember well watching my father waiting to be recalled to active duty. www.thebalance.com/u-s-military-rules-for-being-recalled-to-active-duty-3357010
@@obiwanshinobi87 No, JFK IS THE BESTEVER PRESIDENT OF THE WORLD,NOT ONLY FOR AMERICAN. WHO STOPPED THE NUCLEAR WAR ON THE VERGE WITH THE USSR TILL MANKIND LIVE UP TO DATE,YOU AND YOUR KIDS INCLUDED. THIS AMONG OTHERS. BE OPTIMISTIC,PLS.!
+Mullcrum the Sage : Connally also said " Oh, no, no, no, they're going to kill us all" as the shots were being fired. He also declared to his dying day that he was not struck by the same bullet that hit JFK, i.e. the "Magic Bullet", CE399.
@TheMissy35 I remember my mother was remarking about it, how she wouldn't take it off, and even though no one said it, my mother told me at the tender age of 9 years old exactly why she was wearing it .... as a reminder to everyone about what was done to her husband and our President. Bravo to a brave and noble woman.
I love what Stone says in JFK, that the departure of AF1 from Love Field that day wasn't as much a takeoff as it was a getaway, with the body of JFK in tow so they could control the best evidence.
We saw her getting off the plane at Andrews Air Force that night live on color TV, which was rare in those days. It was the only time I've ever cried, since becoming an adult.
I think that is great that Jackie Kennedy kept that suit on the whole time she was in Dallas and she probably wanted to have the American people to see what had happened to her husband. It is an iconic suit and she looked great in it. Terrible thing that she was wearing it on the day that her husband was murdered.
It couldve been the intelligence community, VP, mafia, oil men, Cuban revolutionaries, or a lone shooter. We will never know because all the files are destroyed. Since all the files were destroyed and there arent even files of speculation released, it makes me suspect LBJ along with members of the CIA/FBI.
GLAXAY, I have a feeling it will be shown before 2103. Probably not 2020 but I think once Caroline is gone, if not before. She released her mother's 'private tapes' (the oral history) early to bribe ABC not to air 'The Kennedys' mini-series so I have a feeling if it's released before she's gone it will be because she uses it as a 'bargaining tool'.
"let THEM see what they have done " ...how could johnson have the nerve to be around the blood spattered clothes ...or even have the MERCENARY presence of mind to be "sworn in " - only a true sociopath with zero conscience can do that - we all know the type though ,don't we
Johnson ordered the plane not to take off u til she was sworn in. Thats so fucked up. As if he didnt become the defacto President following JFK's death. And his harpie of a wife, instead of standing to Jackie and comforting her, is standing on the other side of Johnson wih a big grin on her fucking face while everyone else is sad or neutral. Its as if Jackie didnt exist in the picture anymore. You can tell Johnson did it and didnt care because when the plane landed and the press wanted a statement, Johnson delievered the most robotic and unpassionate words ever following the death of his "friend" and running mate. He had to keep reading sentence by sentence on a piece of paper. There was not heart or warmth in that speech, and all he did was mention himself over and over again. Sad shit man.
@Michael > RFK referred to LBJ as an animal. He may truly have been a sociopath. For all the people he killed including 57000 in Vietnam. I hope he is roasting in Helllllll
@ Michael Seymour johnson was very happy and proud of himself on his succes in slaying JFK, he was sure to be President of the usa and would escalate Vietnam war with B-52 heavy bombardments. He became a stooge by sending nixon for peace negotiation with vietnam in China. The us confronted with fiasco, Vietnam won in support of China and the USSR.
Im visiting dallas this week. We drove jfk assasination route this afternoon. It was our way back to my sisters house from downtown. Drove over X in the road. Im only 38 years old but understood how sad and awful this was
+paul butler Still believing that Oswald B.S. Huh?But on the other hand I also believe that Lyndon Johnson had nothing to do with Pres Kennedy's Murder
School-aged kids in 1963 like me were all IN LOVE with our First Lady! Here we had this beautiful, young and attractive woman that we all wanted to be our mommy, where before we always had a matron who looked like your grandmother. After the assassination our teachers hammered it home that we were in mourning . . . we had to go to church that night, and the following Monday they dismissed us early, told us were were not to go home and play, but watch the funeral and think of our President.
If you want to see the actual pink dress that Jackie wore in Dallas, you're going to have to wait another 50 years. I read in an article that the dress is stored in a hermetically sealed vault in Maryland and won't be shown to the public until the 100th anniversary of November 22, 1963.
The article I read said that after Jackie took the dress off, it was put on box with "November 22, 1963" written on it and Jackie never saw it again. Do you know who had it from 1963 to 2003?
I don't think that there's any need of displaying the suit, it belongs to the Kennedy's. Caroline is the person responsible for the additional 50 years, so I suppose if a person has a problem, they can talk with her. As she said "some things of my parents belong to me, and this is something I don't think needs to be shared"
There may be some legal conflict about that dress in the future. President. Bush signed a bill in 1992 "The JFK Assassination Evidence Act" or something to that effect that allows the U.S. government to seize any items deemed to be evidence in the JFK assassination with reasonable compensation.. At this point there's nothing to be gained by publicly displaying that dress. All it will accomplish is bringing out more conspiracy theorists from the woodwork. They should keep it in storage at the JFK Library.
I agree, it's not evidence in consideration. Though I disagree with your assessment regarding the location. The suit needs to be with JFK's clothing, always. They deserve that much.
Brandi - Many have said that President Kennedy was shot from the 'GRASSY KNOLL'!!!! And I have said, for as looooooong as I can remember, that "His head went back!" But God will sort it ALL out, sooner or later!
Louie Witt was the man with the umbrella. We have known this since the late -70s - not suspicious at all. You can't see him at all in the Zapruder film. You can just see a part of his umbrella.
There are two reasons given why he went through that inaugural ceremony on Air Force One, with the widow of the recently-murdered president by his side. One is that he wanted to show the nation tradition and transfer of power were being observed even under tragic circumstances, that he was in charge, so there would be no chaos or panic, etc.
She wore the suit as kind of a test run just once before at the White House. That is why there exists a video and photos of her wearing the pink suit and holding John John on the White House lawn the week before. It’s rare, but it’s out there.
Whenever I watch the clip of the assassination of JFK, I am astounded just how close they came to hitting Jackie too - I mean it's a miracle she wasn't hit. I really think those assassins couldn't have cared if she had been murdered too leaving the kids w/o parents. Just sad.
Yes. She did have a thick New York accent. I am proud of mine as well. Open your mind. She was more intelligent and cultured than you can ever be in your wildest dreams!
You hit it right on the nose. I've been thinking like you for years. Then the Beatles came and by the beginning of the 1970's this country went down hill with drugs, rock and roll, long hair on men, crazy clothes and attitudes to match. We have never recovered from it.
John Doe Elvis ruined this country and comedians like Richard Pryor. He was funny but he got away with too much. The Beatles were decent compared to drug riddled Elvis. He was putrid.
She didn't take the suit off because she was holding evidence inside of the suit that would link her to the murder of her husband. She pulled the trigger.
I used to go to JFK Catholic High School...and I thought that with the name of someone that had this happen as a school, the people would be at least halfway respectful of each other.....they weren't. I would like to apologize for them for disrespecting this man's name. I now am at a different high school and the people and staff are very nice. I am sorry about this tragic event, and for the people at JFK Catholic High School for the disrespect. Thank you
It was NOT BLUE TRIM, it was BLACK TRIM!!!! And OF COURSE, ANYTHING Chanel touched turned to Gold! I realize it was NOT a 'Chanel' original, but it was VERY CLOSE to her FAMOUS Style Jacket!
Sorry to burst your bubble, but I have original color photos from Love Field that day. JBK wore a "shocking pink" wool boucle suit and hat, and the lapels and pocket trim on the suit (and the blouse underneath) were a dark, almost navy blue. NOT BLACK.
Nah. The Secret Service contacted the FBI, who then covertly contacted the mafia, who met with Castro in Cuba, who called the Kremlin, who sent a rocket to Mars and brought back 23 martians to train and complete the murder. Simple, huh?
LBJ was going to be indicted the following Monday and be forced to resign in disgrace for corruption involving the Texas Department of Agriculture. FBI and Mafia were assigned the hit with the sanction of the CIA. At the last minute the hit was called off, but the hitmen proceeded because they wanted to get paid. Connolly knew; he cried “they’re going to kill us ALL”. Note use of “they”, “kill” and “us all” showed he knew there was a they behind it, not a him. Also the shock that anyone but JFK was hit. Another video proves LBJ ducked before the first shots were fired.
The hole in his throat was made larger when the doctors attempted a tracheotomy. The original hole was described as an entry wound by the doctors, ( much smaller and neater than the resulting hole).
Why would you do a trach on someone who is missing a major percentage of their brain? I know they did it, but what was their rationale? He was dead in the car.
Jackie Kennedy was absolutely stunning! As I was watching this video, something struck me as odd... Take a close look at Lady Bird Johnson at 0:05 and 0:08, she has a SMILE on her face as Fed. Judge Sarah Hughes swears in LBJ! This should've been a somber moment, now take a look at Jackie at 0:20, an approprite look of total shock. I have to think that Lady Bird Johnson felt like a second class citizen next to Jackie Kennedy and I'm sure she was jealous of Jackie's populaity. However, someone should've told her to WIPE that damn smile off her face! Completely inapproprite! At 0:15 Both Johnson's have a smug look on their faces that I'd like to slap off!
I agree with benjovi55, it was a mixed emotion of shock, horror & sadness but also proud of her husband being sworn in as President of the United States, that's still a big deal, regardless of the 'how you got there'. One thing to remember, LBJ & Lady Bird weren't in the car with the Kennedys, or in that emergency room for that matter, they didn't see for themselves 'just how bad' it really was, it wasn't until later & that was only by 'witness accounts'. So no, I don't begrudge Lady Bird at all for having a few seconds of pride in her husband for taking the oath to the highest office in the country.
Another thing to remember, LBJ DID like & respect Kennedy eventhough it was Kennedy's staff that treated him like $h!t & was talking about taking him off the ticket for the 64 re-election campaign. His handling of Viet Nam aside, once in office, LBJ actually accomplished more in 1 year than Kennedy did in 3. It's just sad that he always had 'Kennedy's Shadow' hovering over his head & was more remembered for how he bumbled Viet Nam than the good works he did here in the US.
Good points. Even hearing of a terrible public shooting at a Texas church I was saddened. No matter of not knowing the full extent of the deaths, I find no reason to smile.
In my opinion, it just shows the difference in these two women's upbringing....if I was in Mrs. Johnson's place, I would have been right by Jackie's side, attending to her, and NO one would of told me to do anything different! I would of felt it was my duty, my husband was being sworn in as President, and because of the circumstances, I would feel the need to comfort the former slain Presidents widow....but she felt no sense of nurturing compassion toward Jackie, who most definitely would have, if their roles had been reversed....again, completely different upbringings....one of class....the other, just spoiled sass, the smile is disturbing, it shows she's completely detached from the emotion of the situation.....not a woman I can show much respect for, sadly
As with most "History Channel" reports,a repackage of what we already knew. Surprisingly not mentioned here was that Jackie K wore this suit as early as 1961, and wore it in London in 1962 on an unofficial visit with her sister. She wore it at least once more, at an informal White House reception for John Glenn. November 22 was the first official event for the suit. And it's always been a source of controversy whether or not Archives has the hat. Photos show she left Parkland without it.
No disrespect intended here, but based upon what I've read, the marriage of the Kennedy's wasn't really based in love.She had to have known of Jack's infidelity. Jack wasn't with her when their children were born. Imagine watching her husband dying, then standing next to the man who orchestrated his death. I think she knew. John John's third birthday was marked by him watching his father's casket rolling down the street. My heart aches for Jackie and her children.
Jackie was a wonderful first lady, dignified and just fine in everything she did. I hope that pink jacket never gets shown again because it is reminder of a very dark day in America's past.
I thought people had a lot of respect for Lady Bird and I would never criticize how anyone behaves in a tragedy. That said, Lady Bird is grinning like a bride while 34-year-old Jacqueline is covered in blood and brains. No human woman would behave like that no matter how loyal she was to her husband or how pleased she might have secretly felt deep down in her heart. The look on the people’s faces on the left side has got to be the creepiest photographs in American history. No wonder they weren’t generally published, they are horrifically inappropriate. You usually only see the ones where he’s being sworn in and when they are looking concerned at Jackie. Newspaper editors chose those two because they certainly couldn’t run these. My God.
A few years ago I communicated with a Fort Worth police officer, who was detailed to the FW airport the morning of 11-22-1963. He told me he believes LBJ was the mastermind of JFK's killing, furthermore that the Johnson family wanted some real estate from a relative of his and not only did the relative give it to them, he fled in fear, so powerfully-connected in Texas was LBJ.
Před 4 lety+1
Theyll show her pink suit in 2103 so that way her family wont have to go through that day again
Jackie is understandably in shock and Mrs. Johnson is smiling because her husband just became the president due to the murder of JFK. How could anyone be smiling at such a horrific time? There is another photo where Johnson is sworn in and he looks at a guy in the background and the guy smiles at him.
You know what I find unusual.. I read in an article that no one knows what happened to the pill box hat. Only the dress was saved. I just wonder what happened to the hat. I know obviously there was so much going on that day, confusion, shock etc, but there is something about that hat missing that bothers me.
Based on pictures, she was still wearing it seconds after the shots were fired, because she is seen climbing toward the back of the car still wearing the hat. But a few hours later, during the swear in of LBJ, it's gone.
She likely took it off in the hospital and it got left there. ? fell off in the limo? It is a mystery. I'm sure someone knows what happened to it or has it in their possession.
Brooke Kavanaugh Yes, I had heard that she had ripped it off ( with the pins still in place and strands of her hair along with it) and handed to one of the security people and they handed to her personal assistant and no one knew what happened from there. I agree with you someone has to know what happened to it.
2:50 ARGGHHHH! it was NOT a knockoff! It was made from ALL Chanel materials. Coco Chanel knew about it and authorized it, and the records are in the Chanel archives in Paris to prove it. It even cost JUST AS MUCH as a Chanel suit made on Rue Cambon. It's just that Chez Ninon put the suit together, so they were able to put their label on it and this was to avoid Jackie being accused of being unpatriotic and buying Parisian clothes. By having Chez Ninon sew it together (in New York), they got the right to say it was "American."
At the request of their daughter Caroline, the suit would and is not to be allowed to be viewed to the public until the year 2103. Which will be 140 years after the assassination of JFK.
You also need to understand a point that I made earlier. Vietnam was never about defending freedom or the Domino theory; it was a conflict between two corrupt regimes. US forces were not well received by the South Vietnamese people. Part of the problem was that US forces could never be sure who the enemy was. Later, the infamous Pentagon Paper, released by Dr. Daniel Elssberg, revealed the ineptitude of LBJ's handling of the war effort.
It was Caroline's wish that the suit not go on public display until 2103. I believe she was concerned that it would turn into a media circus. When Jackie said that she wanted "them" to see what they had done to her husband, she was referring to the killer(s).
This suit would fetch a record price if it were ever auctioned and I hope it never does. It's good that it's out of public view as it would no doubt become a macabre piece, much like Dealy Plaza and the depository has become.
I know she said she wanted the world to see what they had done but I also remember when my cousin died in a car accident the nurses took my shaking aunt to a sink and began washing the blood off her hands and my aunt said if she could have spoken she would have screamed at them to stop because she felt the blood covering her was all she had left of her little girl.I sometimes wonder if Jackie felt the same way.
Why would you enjoy watching it again as it was such a tragic event in history? Are you one of those so called " liberal haters" who think democrats are evil and Republicans are saints?
ANYONE KNOWS that if you are next to your dead husband the last thing you're concerned about are you fucking clothes, 15 or 25 hrs after your husband was murdered. it doesn't matter.
@CultOfTheGuitar It's the shade of pink, it was called "shocking pink" (I believe the term was coined by the Italian designer Schiaparelli). Today we would call it a "hot pink" but then it was referred to as "shocking".
Personally , I think Jackie was the ultimate " First Lady " , I'm only 45 , so this was before my time , she just had that look about her , I loved how women dressed in the 60's , wish it would come back ..
I always wondered what happened to the suit. I think it should be at the Smithsonian or somewhere it can be seen. It is a piece of history and does nothing stored away in a box.
@babycakes1402 that's because they're the only two that survived infancy. she had a miscarriage, a stillbirth, and another who died three days after his birth.
She didn't take it off that day because, as she said, she wanted them to "see what they did to Jack". Both of her kids had their birthday that week (Nov.25 & 27). She had their birhday parties to try to keep things "normal". She was one incredibly strong woman.

Jackie must have been roasting in that suit. I originally thought that the suit was more of a soft pale pink with black trim, which would have looked beautiful; however it was more shocking pink with a dark blue(navy) trim. I am glad the suit has been saved and not tossed away. Would love to see it in a museum but I know that would be crossing the line of respect for Jackie and her husband.

I admire Jackie so much.symbol of class,strength,grace,style,elegance.she was one of kind.and one of most iconic woman ever.she was just beautiful and intelligent as hell and suffered great deal through her life.LOVE her.whatever you think of JFK,he and Jackie were truly one of most iconic couples ever and of 20th century.
I think she walked with grace at a time when we were all in shock her husband killed in front of everyone walked behhind his casket to the grave yard saw him put in the ground and still had to go home and put on a smile for her sons birthday she had to meet world leaders and represent the country she wore many hats that day and did it well. We asked a lot and she did her best. Thats y we remember her. I dont know if i could have done it with so much grace.
Buffy Summers. Totally agreed. Like no other couple at that time. Jackie was pure style and elegance. A beautiful lady. RIP Jackie Kennedy Onassis.
50 years ago JFK was taken from us God rest his soul
my darling jacqueline, our time was magic and so precious my love....
This video makes me cry. What an amazing woman. It breaks my heart to see what she went through. :'(
A loyal wife, a marvellous lady!
Muhammad Saeed Memon--You haven't read many biographies about her, have you? Let's see...while married to JFK, she had a liaison with an Italian in Italy (where she spent a summer); Maria Callas (Aristotle Onassis's mistress) was livid about Jackie's relationship with Onassis during a sojourn on his yacht. Then there was the affair she had with Bobby in the aftermath of the assassination. That's just for starters. She was not a "loyal" wife--and JFK wasn't a faithful husband and a "marvelous lady" she was not. She was a gold-differ extraordinare and, if Aristotle Onassis hadn't died when he did, he was about to DIVORCE her high-living arse.
lol... Their marriage was kind of a scam sadly... Or they were so modern they had an open marriage... I always say JFK was a lousy husband.. but damn could that man lead
Some kind of Entity--Lead? You Kennedy sycophants crack me up. None of them were/are anything more than over-indulged spoiled brats. If JFK hadn't been assassinated, he would have ended his presidency being vilified for nearly embroiling us in WW III. Perhaps you are far too young to remember Americans being advised to build bomb shelters and being taught how to survive a nuclear holocaust (good luck with that one). I remember well watching my father waiting to be recalled to active duty. www.thebalance.com/u-s-military-rules-for-being-recalled-to-active-duty-3357010
@@obiwanshinobi87 No, JFK IS THE BESTEVER PRESIDENT OF THE WORLD,NOT ONLY FOR AMERICAN. WHO STOPPED THE NUCLEAR WAR ON THE VERGE WITH THE USSR TILL MANKIND LIVE UP TO DATE,YOU AND YOUR KIDS INCLUDED. THIS AMONG OTHERS. BE OPTIMISTIC,PLS.!
@@nomadicgringo9312 yes.. AND he was a crappy husband..
"Let them see what they have done." Interesting comment. Did she believe that more than one person was responsible?
I'm sure.
There is no other correct phrasing when you don't know whether or not a man or woman was involved. The comment can't be any more unremarkable.
'they' is a generalisation. people have made too much of that for decades.
Well they had no idea who had done it at the time sooo..
+Mullcrum the Sage : Connally also said " Oh, no, no, no, they're going to kill us all" as the shots were being fired. He also declared to his dying day that he was not struck by the same bullet that hit JFK, i.e. the "Magic Bullet", CE399.
I used to love this show back when it was on the History Channel years back. Now it's only on at 6:00am EST on Sundays.
Back when the History Channel actually showed documentaries about history.
@TheMissy35 I remember my mother was remarking about it, how she wouldn't take it off, and even though no one said it, my mother told me at the tender age of 9 years old exactly why she was wearing it .... as a reminder to everyone about what was done to her husband and our President. Bravo to a brave and noble woman.
It sucks that it is not on public display. It would be so neat to see such a piece of history.
Jackie was so beautiful.
Rip JFK.
That poor women. America feels so sorry for her, she was a real sweetie!
A very classy lady!!
Agh, that last bit about Jackie's Mother putting the dress away next to her wedding dress made me cry.
omg was he a handsome man
I love what Stone says in JFK, that the departure of AF1 from Love Field that day wasn't as much a takeoff as it was a getaway, with the body of JFK in tow so they could control the best evidence.
We saw her getting off the plane at Andrews Air Force that night live on color TV, which was rare in those days. It was the only time I've ever cried, since becoming an adult.
I think that is great that Jackie Kennedy kept that suit on the whole time she was in Dallas and she probably wanted to have the American people to see what had happened to her husband. It is an iconic suit and she looked great in it. Terrible thing that she was wearing it on the day that her husband was murdered.
50 years of Denial.. We want the real truth who was truly involved
LBJ and the government did
Secret Service agent accidentally killed him. Fact.
John Crowley yep I think so too
????
It couldve been the intelligence community, VP, mafia, oil men, Cuban revolutionaries, or a lone shooter. We will never know because all the files are destroyed. Since all the files were destroyed and there arent even files of speculation released, it makes me suspect LBJ along with members of the CIA/FBI.
Its been said that the suit will be showed to the public but no sooner then 2103 so who ever is alive then will get to see what we all wanted.
They should show it in 2020 because people will still be alive
Um I went to a museum in Washington and I got to see it
+Stephanie Wallace Caroline Kennedy decided this.
GLAXAY, I have a feeling it will be shown before 2103. Probably not 2020 but I think once Caroline is gone, if not before. She released her mother's 'private tapes' (the oral history) early to bribe ABC not to air 'The Kennedys' mini-series so I have a feeling if it's released before she's gone it will be because she uses it as a 'bargaining tool'.
I hope they show it before 2103. I would like to see it, and I won't be alive by then.
Up until just now, I had always thought the Pink Suit was Chanel. She was brilliant in picking her designers.
I just love Jackie Kennedy. Truly an American Princess.
Despite his affairs_ that was truly a dedicated, classy women_ who probably knew all about her husband, but kept to herself.
"let THEM see what they have done " ...how could johnson have the nerve to be around the blood spattered clothes ...or even have the MERCENARY presence of mind to be "sworn in " - only a true sociopath with zero conscience can do that - we all know the type though ,don't we
Johnson ordered the plane not to take off u til she was sworn in. Thats so fucked up. As if he didnt become the defacto President following JFK's death. And his harpie of a wife, instead of standing to Jackie and comforting her, is standing on the other side of Johnson wih a big grin on her fucking face while everyone else is sad or neutral. Its as if Jackie didnt exist in the picture anymore. You can tell Johnson did it and didnt care because when the plane landed and the press wanted a statement, Johnson delievered the most robotic and unpassionate words ever following the death of his "friend" and running mate. He had to keep reading sentence by sentence on a piece of paper. There was not heart or warmth in that speech, and all he did was mention himself over and over again. Sad shit man.
@Michael > RFK referred to LBJ as an animal. He may truly have been a sociopath. For all the people he killed including 57000 in Vietnam. I hope he is roasting in Helllllll
@ Michael Seymour
johnson was very happy and proud of himself on his succes in slaying JFK, he was sure to be President of the usa and would escalate Vietnam war with B-52 heavy bombardments. He became a stooge by sending nixon for peace negotiation with vietnam in China.
The us confronted with fiasco, Vietnam won in support of China and the USSR.
Jackie's pink suit is now unforgetable. What a sad story.
Im visiting dallas this week. We drove jfk assasination route this afternoon. It was our way back to my sisters house from downtown. Drove over X in the road. Im only 38 years old but understood how sad and awful this was
i should like to see that suit tested for nitrates.
That poor lady,And she has to stand next to her husbands executioner.
+peter lewis never saw a picture of Jackie with Oswald...
+paul butler Oh well,A nods as good as a wink!!!
+paul butler Still believing that Oswald B.S. Huh?But on the other hand I also believe that Lyndon Johnson had nothing to do with Pres Kennedy's Murder
Airsoftcleaner all guilt points to Oswald, no one else
I only believe the facts, theres no conspiracy, no illuminati crap, just an assassin killing a president,,, oswald
That suit is history. Interesting video. I can't imagine how Jackie would have felt...
School-aged kids in 1963 like me were all IN LOVE with our First Lady! Here we had this beautiful, young and attractive woman that we all wanted to be our mommy, where before we always had a matron who looked like your grandmother. After the assassination our teachers hammered it home that we were in mourning . . . we had to go to church that night, and the following Monday they dismissed us early, told us were were not to go home and play, but watch the funeral and think of our President.
If you want to see the actual pink dress that Jackie wore in Dallas, you're going to have to wait another 50 years. I read in an article that the dress is stored in a hermetically sealed vault in Maryland and won't be shown to the public until the 100th anniversary of November 22, 1963.
It is 100 years from when it was given to the archives which was in 2003. Even then the family has to be consulted before it is put on display.
The article I read said that after Jackie took the dress off, it was put on box with "November 22, 1963" written on it and Jackie never saw it again. Do you know who had it from 1963 to 2003?
I don't think that there's any need of displaying the suit, it belongs to the Kennedy's. Caroline is the person responsible for the additional 50 years, so I suppose if a person has a problem, they can talk with her. As she said "some things of my parents belong to me, and this is something I don't think needs to be shared"
There may be some legal conflict about that dress in the future. President. Bush signed a bill in 1992 "The JFK Assassination Evidence Act" or something to that effect that allows the U.S. government to seize any items deemed to be evidence in the JFK assassination with reasonable compensation.. At this point there's nothing to be gained by publicly displaying that dress. All it will accomplish is bringing out more conspiracy theorists from the woodwork. They should keep it in storage at the JFK Library.
I agree, it's not evidence in consideration. Though I disagree with your assessment regarding the location. The suit needs to be with JFK's clothing, always. They deserve that much.
In the Zapruder films, do you see the man w/ the umbrella and the shades at the grassy knoll as the motorcade walks by? He looks pretty suspicious..
Brandi - Many have said that President Kennedy was shot from the 'GRASSY KNOLL'!!!! And I have said, for as looooooong as I can remember, that "His head went back!" But God will sort it ALL out, sooner or later!
Louie Witt was the man with the umbrella. We have known this since the late -70s - not suspicious at all.
You can't see him at all in the Zapruder film. You can just see a part of his umbrella.
There are two reasons given why he went through that inaugural ceremony on Air Force One, with the widow of the recently-murdered president by his side. One is that he wanted to show the nation tradition and transfer of power were being observed even under tragic circumstances, that he was in charge, so there would be no chaos or panic, etc.
She wore the suit as kind of a test run just once before at the White House. That is why there exists a video and photos of her wearing the pink suit and holding John John on the White House lawn the week before. It’s rare, but it’s out there.
"Let them see what they've done"- Jackie Kenndedy
Whenever I watch the clip of the assassination of JFK, I am astounded just how close they came to hitting Jackie too - I mean it's a miracle she wasn't hit. I really think those assassins couldn't have cared if she had been murdered too leaving the kids w/o parents. Just sad.
he was still showing signs of life. even though it was almost inevitable that he was going to die they still wanted to do all they could to save him.
Yes. She did have a thick New York accent. I am proud of mine as well. Open your mind. She was more intelligent and cultured than you can ever be in your wildest dreams!
You hit it right on the nose. I've been thinking like you for years. Then the Beatles came and by the beginning of the 1970's this country went down hill with drugs, rock and roll, long hair on men, crazy clothes and attitudes to match.
We have never recovered from it.
John Doe Elvis ruined this country and comedians like Richard Pryor. He was funny but he got away with too much. The Beatles were decent compared to drug riddled Elvis. He was putrid.
The Beatles came in 1962 if I remember correctly.
soo sad, my heart 😥
If that suit was released it could be examined for blood spatter analysis with today’s technology . I think that’s why it’s been sequestered.
Such elegance such class in one women Rest In Peace Jaqueline Kennedy our first lady
Should be viewed
absolutely agree
She didn't take the suit off because she was holding evidence inside of the suit that would link her to the murder of her husband. She pulled the trigger.
Horse shit.
I used to go to JFK Catholic High School...and I thought that with the name of someone that had this happen as a school, the people would be at least halfway respectful of each other.....they weren't. I would like to apologize for them for disrespecting this man's name. I now am at a different high school and the people and staff are very nice. I am sorry about this tragic event, and for the people at JFK Catholic High School for the disrespect.
Thank you
It was NOT BLUE TRIM, it was BLACK TRIM!!!! And OF COURSE, ANYTHING Chanel touched turned to Gold! I realize it was NOT a 'Chanel' original, but it was VERY CLOSE to her FAMOUS Style Jacket!
Liberty GiveMe it most certainly was navy blue
It was navy blue trim!
Sorry to burst your bubble, but I have original color photos from Love Field that day. JBK wore a "shocking pink" wool boucle suit and hat, and the lapels and pocket trim on the suit (and the blouse underneath) were a dark, almost navy blue. NOT BLACK.
LBJ did it.
Nah. The Secret Service contacted the FBI, who then covertly contacted the mafia, who met with Castro in Cuba, who called the Kremlin, who sent a rocket to Mars and brought back 23 martians to train and complete the murder.
Simple, huh?
LBJ was going to be indicted the following Monday and be forced to resign in disgrace for corruption involving the Texas Department of Agriculture. FBI and Mafia were assigned the hit with the sanction of the CIA. At the last minute the hit was called off, but the hitmen proceeded because they wanted to get paid. Connolly knew; he cried “they’re going to kill us ALL”. Note use of “they”, “kill” and “us all” showed he knew there was a they behind it, not a him. Also the shock that anyone but JFK was hit. Another video proves LBJ ducked before the first shots were fired.
P A G why would LBJ duck before shots were fired...as a signal to fire??
@@cynthiaennis3107 Because he was a coward and knew what was about to happen. He was afraid of being hit accidentally.
The hole in his throat was made larger when the doctors attempted a tracheotomy. The original hole was described as an entry wound by the doctors, ( much smaller and neater than the resulting hole).
Why would you do a trach on someone who is missing a major percentage of their brain? I know they did it, but what was their rationale? He was dead in the car.
I wanted to dress up as Jackie for Halloween . I would feel uncomfortable dressing up as Jackie for fear of dishonouring the memory of that day
Jackie Kennedy was absolutely stunning! As I was watching this video, something struck me as odd... Take a close look at Lady Bird Johnson at 0:05 and 0:08, she has a SMILE on her face as Fed. Judge Sarah Hughes swears in LBJ! This should've been a somber moment, now take a look at Jackie at 0:20, an approprite look of total shock. I have to think that Lady Bird Johnson felt like a second class citizen next to Jackie Kennedy and I'm sure she was jealous of Jackie's populaity. However, someone should've told her to WIPE that damn smile off her face! Completely inapproprite! At 0:15 Both Johnson's have a smug look on their faces that I'd like to slap off!
No
I agree with benjovi55, it was a mixed emotion of shock, horror & sadness but also proud of her husband being sworn in as President of the United States, that's still a big deal, regardless of the 'how you got there'. One thing to remember, LBJ & Lady Bird weren't in the car with the Kennedys, or in that emergency room for that matter, they didn't see for themselves 'just how bad' it really was, it wasn't until later & that was only by 'witness accounts'. So no, I don't begrudge Lady Bird at all for having a few seconds of pride in her husband for taking the oath to the highest office in the country.
Another thing to remember, LBJ DID like & respect Kennedy eventhough it was Kennedy's staff that treated him like $h!t & was talking about taking him off the ticket for the 64 re-election campaign. His handling of Viet Nam aside, once in office, LBJ actually accomplished more in 1 year than Kennedy did in 3. It's just sad that he always had 'Kennedy's Shadow' hovering over his head & was more remembered for how he bumbled Viet Nam than the good works he did here in the US.
Good points. Even hearing of a terrible public shooting at a Texas church I was saddened. No matter of not knowing the full extent of the deaths, I find no reason to smile.
In my opinion, it just shows the difference in these two women's upbringing....if I was in Mrs. Johnson's place, I would have been right by Jackie's side, attending to her, and NO one would of told me to do anything different! I would of felt it was my duty, my husband was being sworn in as President, and because of the circumstances, I would feel the need to comfort the former slain Presidents widow....but she felt no sense of nurturing compassion toward Jackie, who most definitely would have, if their roles had been reversed....again, completely different upbringings....one of class....the other, just spoiled sass, the smile is disturbing, it shows she's completely detached from the emotion of the situation.....not a woman I can show much respect for, sadly
Those bastards killed one of our best men. Our worst men killed out best. So damn shameful!
As with most "History Channel" reports,a repackage of what we already knew. Surprisingly not mentioned here was that Jackie K wore this suit as early as 1961, and wore it in London in 1962 on an unofficial visit with her sister. She wore it at least once more, at an informal White House reception for John Glenn. November 22 was the first official event for the suit. And it's always been a source of controversy whether or not Archives has the hat. Photos show she left Parkland without it.
i won't get to see this until i am 100 years old exactly. such a shame. i might not even be alive.
What about Monica's stained blue dress?
Max Power It was given to Hitlery who master bated with it
Stuart Lee lmaooooo
Max Power lmaooooo
The stain. On that woman's dress....
Not even the same thing!
What a horrible story.
No disrespect intended here, but based upon what I've read, the marriage of the Kennedy's wasn't really based in love.She had to have known of Jack's infidelity. Jack wasn't with her when their children were born. Imagine watching her husband dying, then standing next to the man who orchestrated his death. I think she knew.
John John's third birthday was marked by him watching his father's casket rolling down the street.
My heart aches for Jackie and her children.
She knew who assassinated JFK, and made sure they all saw it on her dress! R.I.P. Jaqueline Lee Kennedy Onassis
It should be put on display as it is a part of American history.
George Vreeland Hill
Jackie was a wonderful first lady, dignified and just fine in everything she did. I hope that pink jacket never gets shown again because it is reminder of a very dark day in America's past.
I think it’s weird how she says let them see what they have done but it won’t be shown to the public until 2103
I thought people had a lot of respect for Lady Bird and I would never criticize how anyone behaves in a tragedy. That said, Lady Bird is grinning like a bride while 34-year-old Jacqueline is covered in blood and brains. No human woman would behave like that no matter how loyal she was to her husband or how pleased she might have secretly felt deep down in her heart. The look on the people’s faces on the left side has got to be the creepiest photographs in American history. No wonder they weren’t generally published, they are horrifically inappropriate. You usually only see the ones where he’s being sworn in and when they are looking concerned at Jackie. Newspaper editors chose those two because they certainly couldn’t run these. My God.
@MIXERPILOT1 They werent heaing for the airport, they were going to The Dallas Trade Mart where he was to give a speech
If she wanted the world to see what they have done to Jack then the dress should be on display today.
She was the classiest First Lady we ever had. RIP Jackie.
That suit was upstairs in a box at Hammersmith farm for many many years
A few years ago I communicated with a Fort Worth police officer, who was detailed to the FW airport the morning of 11-22-1963. He told me he believes LBJ was the mastermind of JFK's killing, furthermore that the Johnson family wanted some real estate from a relative of his and not only did the relative give it to them, he fled in fear, so powerfully-connected in Texas was LBJ.
Theyll show her pink suit in 2103 so that way her family wont have to go through that day again
i wasnt alive when this happend, but this is truely sad, now she they are together. rip
Jackie is understandably in shock and Mrs. Johnson is smiling because her husband just became the president due to the murder of JFK. How could anyone be smiling at such a horrific time? There is another photo where Johnson is sworn in and he looks at a guy in the background and the guy smiles at him.
That's right Kennedy's body arrived in DC inside of a different coffin than the one he left Dallas in.
The original casket was seriously damaged before it even left Dallas. One corner was broken off, along with connected handle.
You know what I find unusual.. I read in an article that no one knows what happened to the pill box hat. Only the dress was saved. I just wonder what happened to the hat. I know obviously there was so much going on that day, confusion, shock etc, but there is something about that hat missing that bothers me.
Based on pictures, she was still wearing it seconds after the shots were fired, because she is seen climbing toward the back of the car still wearing the hat. But a few hours later, during the swear in of LBJ, it's gone.
She likely took it off in the hospital and it got left there. ? fell off in the limo? It is a mystery. I'm sure someone knows what happened to it or has it in their possession.
Brooke Kavanaugh Yes, I had heard that she had ripped it off ( with the pins still in place and strands of her hair along with it) and handed to one of the security people and they handed to her personal assistant and no one knew what happened from there. I agree with you someone has to know what happened to it.
2:50 ARGGHHHH! it was NOT a knockoff! It was made from ALL Chanel materials. Coco Chanel knew about it and authorized it, and the records are in the Chanel archives in Paris to prove it. It even cost JUST AS MUCH as a Chanel suit made on Rue Cambon. It's just that Chez Ninon put the suit together, so they were able to put their label on it and this was to avoid Jackie being accused of being unpatriotic and buying Parisian clothes. By having Chez Ninon sew it together (in New York), they got the right to say it was "American."
At the request of their daughter Caroline, the suit would and is not to be allowed to be viewed to the public until the year 2103. Which will be 140 years after the assassination of JFK.
You also need to understand a point that I made earlier. Vietnam was never about defending freedom or the Domino theory; it was a conflict between two corrupt regimes. US forces were not well received by the South Vietnamese people. Part of the problem was that US forces could never be sure who the enemy was. Later, the infamous Pentagon Paper, released by Dr. Daniel Elssberg, revealed the ineptitude of LBJ's handling of the war effort.
They should carry on what Jackie wanted, and put the suit on display. Let them see what they did, even now, almost 47 years later.
It was Caroline's wish that the suit not go on public display until 2103. I believe she was concerned that it would turn into a media circus. When Jackie said that she wanted "them" to see what they had done to her husband, she was referring to the killer(s).
Actually, if it were Lincolns wifes dress spattered with blood I would find it fascinating.
This suit would fetch a record price if it were ever auctioned and I hope it never does. It's good that it's out of public view as it would no doubt become a macabre piece, much like Dealy Plaza and the depository has become.
I know she said she wanted the world to see what they had done but I also remember when my cousin died in a car accident the nurses took my shaking aunt to a sink and began washing the blood off her hands and my aunt said if she could have spoken she would have screamed at them to stop because she felt the blood covering her was all she had left of her little girl.I sometimes wonder if Jackie felt the same way.
Poor woman. the look of total shock on her face shows everything.
I really enjoyed this I had to watch it again!
Why would you enjoy watching it again as it was such a tragic event in history? Are you one of those so called " liberal haters" who think democrats are evil and Republicans are saints?
thank you to the soldiers for GUARDING the coffin!!!!
They should have guarded Kennedys car also.
ANYONE KNOWS that if you are next to your dead husband the last thing you're concerned about are you fucking clothes, 15 or 25 hrs after your husband was murdered. it doesn't matter.
Jackie Kennedy was all class. A truly beautiful and elegant first lady.
@CultOfTheGuitar It's the shade of pink, it was called "shocking pink" (I believe the term was coined by the Italian designer Schiaparelli). Today we would call it a "hot pink" but then it was referred to as "shocking".
Personally , I think Jackie was the ultimate " First Lady " , I'm only 45 , so this was before my time , she just had that look about her , I loved how women dressed in the 60's , wish it would come back ..
It will be put on display in 2063.
I always wondered what happened to the suit. I think it should be at the Smithsonian or somewhere it can be seen. It is a piece of history and does nothing stored away in a box.
@babycakes1402 that's because they're the only two that survived infancy. she had a miscarriage, a stillbirth, and another who died three days after his birth.
He didn’t need to be sworn in, he was already President as soon as JFK was declared dead. The whole “swearing in” was for show
