Zapruder's jiggles -- did Sitzman have a bad case of hiccups?

Did Marilyn Sitzman have a case of the hiccups?

Given the fact that Oswald's first, missing-everything, shot was at hypothetical Z-124 (half-a-second before Zapruder resumed filming -- after a 17-second pause -- at Z-133), how are we to explain Zapruder's camera's jiggling all over the place other than the possibility that the gal who was holding onto vertigo-plagued Zapruder, Marilyn Sitzman, had a real bad case of the hiccups?

If so, were they so loud that they caused some witnesses to believe that the shots were coming from the bushes?

It is not a given fact that the first shot was fired at virtual Z124. That is your conclusion and you are entitled to it just as I am entitled to my belief the shot was fired at actual Z148. Neither of us has proof positive of what we believe but I'm sure I feel as strongly about my scenario as you do of yours. We both can't be right but it's possible we could both be wrong.
