Axe Head flew off handle THROUGH wall of my neighbor's house!!
Was chopping some spare wood in my back yard when the above transpired.
Entry "wound" is clean: original wood siding, no insulation exterior wall, and interior sheetrock is large V-shaped hole. Thank GOODNESS their kiddies were out at the time as this is their room the axe head ended up in. The girl's doll house was smashed to all hell, and there's a big nick in the hardwood floor where the head was embedded, but despite all of this, no blood spilled. Sheesh! Since it was such a clean "cut", would this be an easy repair?? |

I've been chopping and s plitting wood too long to think an axe head would have that much force once it hit the siding. +1 I'd like to see the pics too. Maybe he left out the part about using C4 to propel the axe. |

If the exterior sheathing of the house was fiberboard, I could almost envision an axe head with enough speed to go through fiberboard.
But, if the sheathing were OSB and there's wood clapboard siding over that, then there's no way the axe head could go through that unless someone swung that axe full force at the house. |

No insulation? Could be if it is a very old house. I had a house on Cape Cod with no insulation. It was hell living there. Couldn't get it warm in the winter. And it had tons of windows with few that opened. So hot in the summer. |

I'll settle for picture of just the hole in the wall. It's like the JFK super bullet! Except that despite all the ridicule from the the conspiracy theorists, sound science shows that what the "magic bullet" did was entirely possible. Last November, NOVA had an excellent show reviewing the trajectory, condition of the bullet, etc using modern forensics and the conclusion was nothing magic was required. Among the things they pointed out: One thing the non-believers say is that it required the bullet to make a zig-zag in mid-air. NOVA pointed out that is because the doubters are using the wrong assumption about the actual location of the jump seat that Connoly was riding in. It was actually located off to the left and lower than the rear seat where JFK was sitting, putting it in perfect alignment. Then they say the bullet could not be in pristine condition if it had done all the damage the Warren Commission claimed. In fact it was not pristine, it actually was squashed and deformed as if it had been squeezed from the sides, with lead squeezed out. They fired the same round through ballistic jell and it came out looking perfect. Even more interesting, the shape of that round is very unusual and what it did left more evidence that confirms the single bullet theory. They used high speed photography to video the bullet passing through ballistic jell simulating JFK's body. It passes through most of the way on a straight path, but as it leaves the jell, it starts to tumble. On JFK's jacket, there is a single round hole with some black marking around it, indicating that was the first thing the bullet hit. On Connaly's jacket, there is a hole in the distinct shape of the bullet being sideways, with no black marking, ie it looks like a slit. The surgeon also reported that Connaly's back wound was a slit, not a round hole. Having slowed substantially, and traveling sideways, the bullet wound up breaking Connaly's rib and wrist. On the X-rays, there are visible tiny fragments of metal left in Connaly, consistent with the lead the small amount of lead that was squeezed out of the slowed bullet by it's impact with his wrist. The Myth Busters guys did a show on it a few years ago too and came to the same conclusion, ie that the trajectories line up, nothing magical was required and it's entirely possible that the single bullet theory accounting for the wounds in JFK's neck and Connaly was entirely possible. |

It was indeed a "super bullet" to do all that damage but it's certainly not outside the realm of possibility. What troubles me more is Oswald's easy ability to move back and forth between the USSR and the US at the height of the cold war. Jack Ruby's shadowy connections and assassination of Oswald don't sit well with me, either. Were there more people that Oswald involved? Maybe. Were they at the TBD? Maybe not. Maybe, like Mark Felt, there will be a death bed confession from someone in the future that sheds some light on the big outstanding questions, but I doubt it. A lot of people that were investigated at one time or another ended up dying early deaths. Cue Twilight Zone music. Now I've got to get back outside to tend to my magic beanstalk.

Just one to add for the record that the single bullet theory actually involves two bullets. About one, even the conspiricists haven't expressed doubt, so that leaves the other which conspiracists say were really two bullets (that is, three total), but was, I'm sure enough, only one, two total. I don't want anyone reading about the other bullet and thinking that contradicts the single bullet theory. As to the other claim, that the shooter couldn't have fired even two bullets in the time between the first and last, I'll admit I didn't have a gun but I tried to similate two shots in the allotted time, and it didnt' seem so hard. I happened to be standing at the window of the Texas Schoolbook Depository** at the time, but I think one could do the same test anywhere. **They won't lend guns for testing purposes.

It was indeed a "super bullet" to do all that damage but it's certainly not outside the realm of possibility. What troubles me more is Oswald's easy ability to move back and forth between the USSR and the US at the height of the cold war. Yes, I agree. He was also trained in Russian by the military. I wouldn't dismiss the possibility that he was in fact involved with the CIA at some level. Doesn't mean the CIA had him shoot JFK, just that he could have been involved with them. And if he was, plenty of motive for the CIA to want to hide it. Jack Ruby's shadowy connections and assassination of Oswald don't sit well with me, either. I agree, Ruby had those connections. But one of the most interesting things I learned on the 50th anniversary was that it's documented than just a few minutes before shooting Oswald, Ruby was at the Western Union office a couple blocks from police headquarters, wiring some money to a stripper. If he was the guy the mafia or whoever sent to kill Oswald, it seems very odd that he would be screwing around, at WU, instead of getting to Dallas police headquarters. Also, Oswald was actually moved later than planned, so if he was supposed to be there to whack him, it sure was a strange performance. Were there more people that Oswald involved? Maybe. Were they at the TBD? Maybe not. Maybe, like Mark Felt, there will be a death bed confession from someone in the future that sheds some light on the big outstanding questions, but I doubt it. A lot of people that were investigated at one time or another ended up dying early deaths. Cue Twilight Zone music. Yes, that's another fascinating part. The one thing that convinces me more than anything else that this wasn't some grand conspiracy is how Oswald got the job at the TSBD. All this has been documented. There was an 18 year old guy from Arkansas, I think, who couldn't find a job there. So, he moved to Dallas to live with his sister. He wound up finding a job at TSBD. Some months later, his sister happened to be at the home of a neighbor/friend. That neighbor also knew Marina Oswald. Marina happened to come over and while there, the subject that Lee Oswald was having trouble finding a job. That women told Marina that she her brother had found a job at TSBD and that he should try there. The intermdediary neighbor actually called TSBD to inquire about job openings, because Marina didn't speak English well. Oswald went to the TSBD and was hired at the same time as another fellow. The manager who hired both of them, stated that he had two positions to fill, at two different locations, and it was only by chance that he decided to put Oswald at the TSBD. So, either this was pure chance, or it was one hell of conspiracy to get all these people involved. On the CIA/conspiracy or is it pure coincidence craziness, are you aware of this? There was a wealthy businessman named George De Mohrenshildt, who befriended Oswald. It's been alleged that he must have been Oswald's handler. It's clear that this guy had been passing info to the CIA, as was common back then, about his overseas business trips to countries of interest. If he was more than that, who knows. DM's version was that he was of Russian decent and met and took interest in Oswald through some Russian community organization in TX. But the 1 in a billion thing here is that DM had a brother on Long Island who he visited regularly. Who was a close friend of his brother's family? Jackie Bouvier. As a child she had sat on the lap of this DM guy and called him Uncle. I mean that this guy befriended both Jackie Kennedy as a child and later Oswald, what are the odds of that? It's like all the crazy planets aligned for all this to come into play. I mean it's all totally bizarre, but at the same time, what logical grand conspiracy would put Jackie into contact with the same guy who happened to later know Oswald? |
