Newly-emerged footage that shows the immediate aftermath of President John F. Kennedy's assassination goes on auction this month.
Stills from the unseen 8mm film footage in the moments after JFK’s assassination on November 22, 1963 that is being auctioned off by RR Auction.
The never-before-seen 8mm home film — the existence of which was previously unknown — shows President Kennedy’s motorcade speeding down a Dallas freeway toward a hospital after he was fatally wounded.The video was filmed by Texas businessman Dale Carpenter Sr. just moments after Kennedy had been shot in 1963.
The footage, which is in two parts, begins with Carpenter Sr. just missing the limousine carrying the president and first lady Jacqueline Kennedy but capturing other vehicles in the motorcade as it traveled down Lemmon Avenue toward downtown. Kennedy himself can not be glimpsed in the footage. At this point, he had collapsed and was close to death.
