So glad you're talking about the "legacies" of these celebrity figures, always glorifying these characters when the truth is way different! Much like Princess Diana...I thought she was a saint, but thanks to Prince Harry, SHOVING HIS MOTHER'S MEMORY in my face, I started researching her story and it turns out Princess Di WAS A BIT UNSTABLE, to a degree, and used the PR machine and press to upstage her ex, and provoke the public's hate for Camilla. I had such a beautiful image of her....THANKS FOR RUINING THAT FOR ME, HARRY!

A private pilot friend of mine said to me: "Even a rookie pilot would never have even taken off that night in that foggy weather."

[@cjpatz]

He had IFR training, and flew this route many times, his initial mistake which then cascade toward the crash was tuning his radio to the wrong frequency, so when he was supposed to hear from the airport he was heading to, and wasn’t getting anything, panic probably started setting in because he was starting to head over the dark Atlantic, a mistake anyone could make even with experience, now maybe there was some “get-there-itis” going on, again anyone with any experience level could get, obviously more experience minimizes this but it still happens to experienced pilots.

In the 80s I was a maitre d' of a restaurant on 42nd St that was in a building that Jackie owned, and so she came to dinner there often. Her son would often meet her for dinner and she would frequently tell me that she worried about him all the time because he rode his bicycle around Manhattan - I also got around Manhattan on a bicycle, it was just a little dangerous but I told her there was no reason to worry and I'm certain she gave my advice no consideration at all. When I told my mother that Jackie reminded me of her she was unfazed, probably because they were both moms. Jackie and her son were both very nice, unpretentious people.

And the real Diana could be a nightmare as well.

Wouldn’t that have been a great power couple!! Could you imagine the political atmosphere if they had been able to join forces.

[@joannamillan8882]

I'd liked too have seen that him and Princess Diana. 😮

[@ATLcentury334]

I’ve read that Diana joked around with a friend, wondering what it would be like to date him. I wondered ever further, what if they did date, and marry someday. Everyone would be anxious to see the new president Kennedy and his wife Diana meeting with the queen after his election. What would be the queens reaction? If they visited Buckingham Palace or any other of the queens residences, Diana would all ready know where every bathroom was.

I am 71 years old...all my life my mother would buy all the life magasines about the Kennedy family! I would love to read them because I was the same age as one of Robert Kennedy! But all we could read and hear was how fearless they were...all of the boys and cousins! They were thought that way! Live dangerously! On top of that...Jacky was told once that John Kennedy junior should never fly...that he would loose his life...she warned him of her worries for this ..but he ignored her! Like my Dad would say:" some people run after their deaths!"

I remember watching this live as it was happening. I did watch the documentary on this it really was the perfect storm that day. Rich and powerful don't follow our rules all above it.

This puts Carolyn in a different view. She saw reality that JFK, Jr. was not as shiny as his image and became unhappy with him. She also had a shiny image too, and perhaps JFK, Jr. also realized she was not so perfect either. They both seem like they grew disillusioned with each other.

Me very question! (said in an Irish brogue).

[@frankt7521]

A plant by whom? For what purpose? He's been dead a long time. Maybe so when Hilary steps onto the ticket the story of the Senate run is dismissed?

[@Laurensue]

He lived on North Moore St in NYC where I saw him. He used to walk around like anyone else, no fanfare. The day he flew the fog was so thick we couldn’t see the skyline from Brooklyn heights. People weren’t taking boats out. It was that bad.

[@cw6983]

Why are we led to believe that JFK jr's wife was innocent and virtuous..she may have gotten a "booby prize" but don't act like greed or superficiality didn't play a big part in it

[@biohazzarddiva]

For sure! She and so many other women are so hell bent on joining the Mrs. Kennedy Club that they throw all caution and self respect out the window.

[@ancientroman2901]

I have seen a video where she in assaulting JFK jr physically.

[@mgkelly3389]

Exactly!

[@LadyShanghai-wj1kh]

The son of Caroline Kennedy is now the last ditch effort for young-unsuspecting girls wanting to marry into that family. He has very similar behaviour & weirdness to JFK Jr.

[@mrsx7944]

Yep. She was a gold digger

[@hieroshiva]

Classic case of the senex (Carolyn, the Capricorn) and puer eternus (Sagittarius, JFK Jr.). Never ends well.
