I think about the Kennedy assassination, and how a flat tire at love Field could've changed everything. I got a flat this past week, two flats really from two nails. Considering the advances to tires in the past 50 years and the odds of me having two flat tires as opposed to JFKs limo having one flat, it could've happened. I imagine a secret service agent looking in the trunk for the spare and asking everyone if they knew how to change a tire. There was no AAA back then and run flat tires were a fantasy so they would've had no choice but to change it right there. The guys in the Dealey Plaza with the rifles, yeah rifles, would have been scratching their heads and wondering what the holdup was. By the time the flat was changed, the driver would have had no time to make a right turn through the Plaza and then 120 degree left turn (really? Talk about a lion led to the slaughter); JFK would've motioned for the driver to just go flying through at 50mph while he honked the horn, if there was only a nail on the runway at Love Field.
