Footage of Kennedy being taken to hospital

[edit]

What do we do about this?— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 16:47, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not really anything. The complete footage hasn't been released, it isn't in the public domain. The film has been reported on, the auction is being reported on but does the content give us any new information about the assassination? Who/what/how? It apparently gives us in-the-moments & a human-interest aspect - look how Hill jumps up on the bumper! but...beyond that...not much. To add the fact, that an auction of this footage is taking place, to this article seems...somewhat trivial to me. Shearonink (talk) 17:30, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What about the existence of the footage?— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 20:03, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
So far as I can tell from the limited information available at this time, the footage doesn't tell us anything new. It's interesting I suppose but we already know Kennedy was taken to Parkland where he was pronounced dead and its supposedly just mainly footage of the automobiles, not a new vantage point of Kennedy being shot or new footage that identifies the "man on the hill" etc. The footage exists, but this article doesn't have listed out every single known photograph/all the known footage of the automobile cavalcade as it went by Dealey Plaza, etc. If multiple reliable sources state that the footage brings forth new information about the assassination then it would be added but I don't think its mere existence justifies adding information about it to this article about Kennedy's death.
