“Firecrackers” said the earwitnesses as the motorcade FRONT (JFK’s limo) turned onto Elm street, President Kennedy hit in the back by a bullet, “bunched jacket” or not puncturing his lung (hard to do if you are not hit in the back Gerald Ford); missed shot goes through limousine front windshield which SS will replace within hours after a little “target practice” with 15 windshields until they can get a minor richochet to go along with the “big lie” of a minor, relatively sterile attack by a lone man instead of the blood-covered, multi-shooter ambush that was Dealey Plaza, November 22, 1963
“Then one of the doctor’s noticed a frothing of the neck wound. ‘He’s bubbling air’ the doctor said, this means a hole in the lung.
Peters and Baxter immediately inserted a tube into the right upper part of the chest, just below the shoulder to re-expand the lungs and keep them from collapsing. Perry and Jones at the same time inserted a similar tube on the left”
