1. This is a very cogent explanation

of one of the most whackaloon conspiracy theories ever devised in JFK assassination lore, and there have been some doozies.

People were with JFK's casket the entire way from Parkland to Bethesda. Jackie herself only left sight of the coffin at one point after JFK was placed inside at Parkland:



JFK's coffin is down a short hallway to the left of the photographer. LBJ and Jackie are facing that hallway. ALMOST EVERYONE is facing that hallway.



In fact, most of JFK's staff was with the coffin and not at the swearing in ceremony. Brigadier General Godfrey McHugh, JFK's aide, never left the coffin between Parkland and Bethesda.

Steel cables were wrapped around the loaded coffin to prevent the coffin from shifting or opening in flight.

And to put it bluntly, JFK's body was a sopping wet mess. It had been wrapped in a couple of sheets to soak up the blood, but it would have been impossible to remove him from the coffin without smearing blood everywhere, something the distraught Jackie Kennedy would have noticed after returning to the coffin.

There is NO POSSIBLE WAY he could have been removed from the coffin at this point in time or at any time on the plane.

Nobody removed JFK from his coffin. Douglas Horne is delusional, a textbook example of knowing his conclusion and fitting every possible thing he can into his idiotic hypothesis. If this is the best this series have to offer, MrMickeysMom, it's time to give it up.
