Did you know the 45th anniversary of Doctor Who will be on November 23, 1963 (UK). They repeated it the next week 'cos Kennedy's death was announced just beforehand.
No, I didn't know that! That's interesting.
I've also heard there was a power outage as well in some areas but aren't too sure of that.
There was a massive telephone failure in the Washington, D.C. area that day. Since there were no cellphones back then, land lines were what people depended on, and it was a wall of silence in the Capital.
I can't recall if other cities had the same problem, but I know for sure that D.C. did.
Have you seen it?
No, I'm not a Dr. Who fan. It's rarely if ever broadcast here.
Sorry if I seem trivial but when someone mentions his assassination I think of "Doctor Who". It is a shocking thing that happened as well as sad. Plus there's so many what ifs.
That's the saddest part, the what-ifs.
Ironically Bhutto's death reminds me of Kennedy's. She got assassinated publicly and the government is either incompetent or rubbish over the investigation. It seems almost a mirror for what happened over forty years ago. Except they can't hide the footage.
Yeah, today if November 22nd happened, there would have been cellphone pictures. Back then it was a heckuva lot easier to confiscate people's still and movie cameras, though Abraham Zapruder went to the CBS affiliate in Dallas and sold his film to Life Magazine before the Government got their hands on it.
