--- Quote from: Royell Storing on April 24, 2026, 07:26:42 PM ---     JOHN-  You mention there being some sort of Zapruder "sight" issue. From that elevated Perch, Zapruder and Sitzman could see the JFK Motorcade turning onto Houston, traveling down Houston St, and then turning onto Elm St. So, an alleged Zapruder "sight" issue did not exist. Dan Rather told the World that the Zapruder Film he viewed the weekend of the assassination showed the JFK Limo turning onto Elm St. And Rather reported this several times. That makes Rather's reporting Not a simple slip-of-the-tongue. Rather reported what he viewed on that Z Film and he did so several times.

--- End quote ---

Zapruder at first filmed over 7 seconds of essentially nothing, just the motorbikes, then he quickly shut off his camera and waited till he saw and confirmed he actually had Kennedy's Limo in his viewfinder.
As for seeing what was on Houston it seems from the first motorcycle footage that Zapruder wasn't fully aware of what was happening on Houston.
Then when we first see the Limo in Z133, the cars at this point on Houston were barely visible behind the crowd.



And as for Dan Rather, he embellishes what he saw on multiple occasions like describing Connally reaching back, something not seen. He was a reporter and is in his mind, adding detail to better describe what was happening and unlike us who have seen the Zapruder film a bazillion times and have studied and pondered every relevant frame, Dan Rather never had that opportunity. Similar to the eyewitnesses who said the Limo stopped or slowed, it either did one or the other, it couldn't do both!
