"Kennedy, the 38-year-old son and namesake of America's 35th president, was flying with his wife, Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, 33, and his sister-in-law, Lauren Bessette, 34, when his six-seat, single-engine Piper Saratoga crashed seven miles south of his Martha's Vineyard home. All three were killed.
A report by the National Transportation Safety Board blamed pilot error for the crash, saying Kennedy, who had been flying for 15 months, was not skilled enough for low-visibility nighttime flying and became disoriented in the hazy sky."
The Assassination of JFK Jr - Full Version
Poster Comment:
John John Had been flying for 17 years, he had already passed the quals for IFR, and his instructors all said that he was "methodical in his planning".
They murdered him, folks.
And I'm still sick about it.
If you don't have 1:46:48 to watch the video now, please bookmark it and watch it later. The skullduggery surrounding this plane crash is even more obvious than when they murdered his father.
People who call him John-John clearly didn't know him.
There is no evidence that JFK Jr was seriously contemplating a run at the Senate in 1999 (nor, at that same time, that Hillary was determined to run in NY), nor is there any affirmative evidence of foul play in his plane crash. He had limited piloting experience (I am curious why someone would claim he had been piloting for 17 years when his pilot's license was only slightly more than on year old at the time) and was rushing to arrive at a family wedding, notwithstanding any difficulties about weather or visibility.
Not only is the no evidence that JFK Jr was determined to run for the Senate, but there is no particular reason to believe that he would have been a formidable candidate. He had repeatedly failed the NY Bar Exam ("the hunk that flunked"), he had failed as a magazine publisher ("George"), and he had not been particularly visible in politics.
