Regarding the video trip to Hoffa's safe, I can only refer to what I find in Craig Roberts' text on page 74:
Roberts prints the diagrams on pages 194-5, and a letter from Air Force historian Thomas E. Pennington 6 Apr 92 on pages 197-8 confirming tail number 26000 as the aircraft which was used that day.
I understand that some have raised objections to Lifton on matters unknown to me until recently, as I had no contact with his work since reading Best Evidence circa 1997. Be that as it may, Roberts may be contacted through his website of riflewarrior.com.
I know he was attested to by John Carman of customscorruption.com, and I have found Roberts' citation of the following to be killer:

As soon as I saw a diagram of the interior of AF-1 (26000) provided in Best Evidence, I knew how it must have been accomplished. It is only because I used to work on Boeing 707s that I had the missing clue. But to be positive, I pulled my old 707 maintenance guides from my library archives and opened them to the cutaway diagrams of the aircraft.
I was right.
Just to the right of where the casket was placed is a trap door that drops down into the aft baggage compartment!
It is no secret that the door, known as the "Aft Cargo Compartment Ceiling Access Panel," exists. Diagrams of every access panel and every hatch and door of the airplane are in every maintenance manual. The general knowledge of the existence of this particular access point, however, is not apparent as it is hidden beneath the carpet.

According to my friend, Gunnery Sergeant Carlos Hathcock, the former senior instructor for the U.S. Marine Corps Sniper Instructor School at Quantico, Virginia, it could not be done as described by the FBI investigators. Gunny Hathcock, now retired, (since died) is the most famous American military sniper in history. In Vietnam he was credited with 93 confirmed kills—and a total of over 300 actual kills counting those unconfirmed. He now conducts police SWAT team sniper schools across the country. When I called him to ask if he had seen the Zapruder film, he chuckled and cut me off. “Let me tell you what we did at Quantico,” he began. “We reconstructed the whole thing: the angle, the range, the moving target, the time limit, the obstacles, everything. I don’t know how many times we tried it, but we couldn’t duplicate what the Warren Commission said Oswald did. Now if I can’t do it, how in the world could a guy who was a non-qual on the rifle range and later only qualified ‘marksman’ do it?”
