Saw this one again on the History Channel today and made two notes:
Audio played of radioed news mentioning the "6th floor of the Texas Book Depository": I realize that they're not playing these recordings in any particular order, but the playing of this one, prior to the playing of recordings announcing JFK's death, implies that is the way these recordings were originally aired. Someone assure me that stories mentioning the 6th floor of the TSBD were not actually aired until after the stories of JFK's death.
Audio purporting to be the words of AF1 pilot: Pilot claims "it got dark about 30 minutes before we landed" (in Washington). Knowing this to be a key issue, I make note of the sunset time in Washington DC on 11/22: 4:50 PM (EST). Twilight (it isn't dark yet even though the sun has set) ends an hour later: 5:52 PM (EST). If 30 minutes after that is touchdown, that would be 6:24 PM (EST) Source: http://www.timeanddate.com/sun/usa/washington-dc
From what I recall, the filming of the removal of the casket from the plane is at 6:04 PM (EST).
Is this simply another example of this film botching the facts, or is this a real historical discrepancy?

James Tracy: "There is sometimes an undue amount of paranoia among some conspiracy researchers that can contribute to flawed observations and analysis."
Gary Cornwell (Dept. Chief Counsel HSCA): "A fact merely marks the point at which we have agreed to let investigation cease."
Alan Ford: "Just because you believe it, that doesn't make it so."
