Comments by "Rob Fraser" (@krashd) on "The Death Of President Kennedy | The Crown (Claire Foy, Matthew Goode)" video.

A human brain can function with only one hemisphere and the left side of John's brain was still in tact, but he still died because of the massive blood loss and traumatic brain injury from the shot, a hemispherectomy has to be carried out when the upper brain is turned off via anaesthetic and then the corpus callosum that connects both hemispheres is carefully disconnected using a scalpel. Using a high powered rifle to remove a large section of one hemisphere while the patient is conscious would not be an ideal starting place to carry out a hemispherectomy but saving the president's life after he was shot was not impossible - it was just enormously unlikely.

Where was Matthew Goode? I saw Matt Smith but no Matthew Goode.

The scene of the Magna Carta signing in 1215; because of it's significance in inspiring the US constitution it was gifted to the US with a JFK memorial built upon it.

She wasn't listening to Cronkite obviously, she was listening to a BBC reporter. Christ almighty, this dude thinks only the US had news presenters in 1963...

She obviously would not have forgot but if you think every person on Earth on that day would remember the day for the rest of their lives you massively overestimate how much the people of the world care about US events.

@DavidHRyall All of the evidence says otherwise.

@shaunsteele6926 Sure she was, that'll be why Trump was given instructions on how to address her while US secret service agents did not give her anything about addressing Trump.

@thekingsdaughter4233 Propaganda, obviously.

@shaunsteele6926 Why? There are hundreds of people around the world with only a single brain hemisphere, so why?

You can live with only half a brain, they used to remove one hemisphere of a person's brain to cure epilepsy.
