The death of a friend is never an easy thing to bear, and the immidiate need for answers, both mundane and celestial, can cause fear, despair and confusion enough to nearly incapacitate those left behind. When that friend is an elected leader, young, charismatic and bold, the anguish can be felt in hearts across the nation. Such was the case in the United States 46 years ago, on November 22, 1963, when President John F. Kennedy, the bright beacon of an American Camelot, was assassinated at Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas. What follows is the original broadcast of the breaking news of the Kennedy assassination, aired live on WFAA in Dallas. Jay Watson, the program director at Channel 8, while clearly stunned at the recent events that he himself witnessed, interviews eye witnesses, breaks the latest details, and acts as a conduit for the steadily mounting horror that would rise across the world in the days to come. In commemoration of the life and works of President Kennedy, tomorrowpictures.TV is proud to present this 5-part series from that grim November day nearly a half a century ago
