assassination

It's been 50 years since President John F. Kennedy was shot and killed while riding in a motorcade through Dallas, Texas. More words have been written about this event (and its aftermath, and what led up to it) than just about anything else, so we thought we'd take a look back through photographs and video.

November 22, 2013 marks the 50th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy's assassination. We thought we'd share with you some bizarre coincidences between  Kennedy and Abraham Lincoln. Taken from the Reader's Digest book, Mysteries of the Unexplained, you will amazed at these astonishing facts.

You've likely seen the famous CBS News broadcast with Walter Cronkite delivering the news of the shooting of President John F. Kennedy. Perhaps you've never heard the  coverage as the events in Dallas unfolded. This is audio from WBAP in Fort Worth as it reported the shooting on November 22, 1963.

Wow. I was only 3 years old when he died. Of course we were taught about John F. Kennedy in school (but who was listening...) and we hear about it once a year when the anniversary of his assassination comes around, but this takes all the bits and pieces you have heard, and many you haven't, and combines them into a story...

An attempt on the life of a Bulgarian politician was miraculously averted yesterday when the would-be killer's gun refused to fire.
