I've speculated in the past that the actions of these occupants in this camera car alone, may have influenced at least Brennan and Euins to look up at the building too, too bad the sequence doesn't allow us to see them or anyone looking that way but appreciate the effort James.
25 mins of unseen Darnell though, something to look forward to.

    You think about it and Darnell filmed Both Press Buses on Houston St. He also filmed the 2nd Press Bus/Trailing Press Bus going underneath the Triple Underpass. This means he was moving down the South side of Elm St/looking down Elm St only seconds after the Kill Shot.  As he moved West down Elm, Darnell probably witnessed Officer Hargis traveling to the North side of Elm St/The Knoll, in addition to the movements of The Umbrella Man and The Cuban. At some point Darnell crossed Elm St and then ventured behind the Zapruder Pergola. This means he also probably had a very good look at the Black Dog Man Nook, the Gordon Arnold area West of The Steps, the parking lot behind the Picket Fence, as well as the immediate area directly behind the Picket Fence itself. Darnell is another extremely valuable eyewitness that was Not called to Testify before the WC.

IMHO he wasn't called because he could not remember the gun in the window event but sorry, the buses on Houston? He caught them on tape and you've seen it?

    A short Darnell Film snippet was discovered by Thurman Lee Storing. This snippet shows the 2 Press Buses on Houston. It is at the :10 second mark on the fuzzy Darnell Film compilation that begins this Thread. I have seen clearer footage of this snippet. The MASSIVE Press Buses on Houston St. are not difficult to distinguish.

Guess I was too busy focusing on the peeps opposite the TSBD to notice them Royell but ty yes, a bit hard to miss.

Is everyone happy with this being Darnell now?

Between us and the v front of the bus.

Hargis seems to be back at the lamppost before/as Darnell jumped out, as seen in Couch.

Jimmy Darnell was my Father and I can confirm that is him in the picture.

Welcome, Nellie.

How did you come to join the forum?  I don't know where to begin with all the other questions I have, and I'm sure many people over the years have wanted to know the whereabouts of any complete version of your father's film in Dealey Plaza, but I'm gonna just stick with: did your father ever make any comments to you about that day?  I hope you don't mind my asking.  Many who were there, including reporters, kept their feelings pretty close, as people in those days tended to, much more than we do now.  It was a frightening and disheartening experience -- not just "the big story".

Anyway, thanks for the i.d. of him in the pic, every fact matters.
