As It Happened - the Tragic Death of John Kennedy Jr. - July, 1999 - part 4 of 7.

[shawnbrennan1]

JFK Jr was a common citizen that had a well connected family. He was the product of nepotism and politcs. He KILLED two woman and himself when he crashed his plane. Instead of being charged with reckless homocide, uncle Teddy boy got a military burial at sea off a U.S. warship, then sent the 3 million dollar bill to me.

I think it is very sad that Rory Kennedy's big day was ruined by John's crash.

Yet another reason celebs shouldn't be given licenses to fly just b/c they are celebs. Thurman Munson, Jim Reeves, Ricky Nelson, golfer Paine Stewart--how many more I can't even name. I don't fly on any plane without a stewardess or two, b/c commercial pilots usually know what they are doing, unlike celebs.

RIP

@cliffdimerandy I once saw him at the funeral of a colleague's brother. John Jr. was my colleague's brother's college room-mate. He was the most handsome, magnificent-looking man I'd ever seen. He appeared very nice and down-to-earth. I kept my distance because I was intimidated by who he was, but I wish now that I had at least said hello. My colleague's brother died tragically crossing a busy highway, and then just shortly later ( I think a couple of months) JFK Jr. died as well. I was stunned.

I think it's quite sad what happened to JFK Jr and why he had to leave us so soon.
