Bullet hole in windshield on JFK's Limo

[Nicholas Turner]

Damage to the inner surface would seem to be consistent with a sharp blow from the opposite side...

I don't see why. A bullet fragment hitting the inner surface is more likely isn't it.

I don't think I can explain the physics of this... probably something to do with one of Newton's laws... All I know is that I've seen BB's hit glass, and the glass chips out on the opposite side... I suppose others have had that same experience and could confirm this...

Why not read her assessment before dismissing it then?

No thanks as she showed her true colors on ACJ.

What bullet would this fragment have come from?

You mean, by being a thoughtful commentator and good moderator?

I'll repeat this again because it's so important, the windshield on JFK's limo was on full display from virtually any angle could have been penetrated from either side , so why would anyone bother covering anything up? Also consider that one of the fragments did almost penetrate the glass and another left a solid indentation on the steel framework.
