Thank you. Was there as break in this steam line at 12:30p that blew a puff of air?
..and it smelled like gunpowder?
Senator Ralph Yarborough: Riding in the motorcade behind Vice President Lyndon Johnson, Senator Yarborough stated, "I smelled the gunpowder…. It clung to the car nearly all the way to the hospital".
Dave Powers and Kenneth O'Donnell: These Kennedy aides were in the motorcade and reported smelling gunpowder at street level near the rail yards.
Other Witnesses: Reports indicate that as many as 13 witnesses near the street, specifically around the Grassy Knoll and Triple Underpass, reported smelling gunpowder, which some interpreted as evidence of a shooter at street level.
Earle V. Brown: A Dallas police officer stationed on the Texas and Pacific Railroad overpass reported smelling gun smoke as the limousine passed beneath him.
Jarrett Smith:
I think we can all agree there is a difference between smoke and steam and how it disperses. Steam doesn't smell like gunpowder either.

Smelling gunpowder is not an indication of where the gunshots came from. Unless someone wants to argue that the shots were actually fired by someone on Elm St., we can conclude that the smell of gunpowder had traveled some distance from the source of the gunfire. That doesn't establish where the shots were fired from. Fortunately, we have ample evidence of for that. The shots were fired from the southeast corner window of the 6th floor of the Texas School Book Depository. There is no credible evidence of any shots fired from any other location.

:D we're talking about the smell of smoke that lingered in the air.
Unlike constant steam in a pressurized pipe that would dissipate

Because when a gun fires, the smoke lingers in the same spot for hours, even days. Sometimes years! :D :D :D
