A Look Back at JFK Jr.'s Shocking Plane Crash
Вставка

- It's been nearly 25 years since John F. Kennedy, Jr. died in a plane crash. The flight took off from Essex County Airport in New Jersey. Kennedy was piloting the aircraft heading to Martha's Vineyard for a family wedding. He became disoriented mid-flight and lost control, plunging into the Atlantic Ocean. The crash also killed his wife and her sister Lauren. Maureen Callahan, author of "Ask Not: The Kennedys and the Women They Destroyed," says the flight was fraught with reckless behavior.
Everybody always talks about JFK Jr’s death and how tragic it was and it was the loss of hope for the country and I totally get that and understand that completely. But what nobody talks about is the fact that two sisters on that plane as well. I feel bad for the Kennedys for losing JFK Jr of course, but I also feel terrible for mother who lost two daughters in one night. It’s strange how no one seems to talk about or mention that. Personally speaking, I feel that is just as if not more tragic.
Because they were not as famous as him. Nobody talks about my cousin who passed from a car accident either, it’s pretty obvious why
Kennedy Women always came second in that family
@@Gibbs2Go your family doesn't talk about your cousin?
@@KenaDrawspretty sure no one talks to them at all 😂😂😂😂 they seem miserable af 😭🤮

THAT FAM CANNOT GET A BREAK
JFK jr mother did not allow him to get an airplane while she was alive. Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was afraid JFK jr would crash the plane.
He should have listened to mom.
He took off from where I live. I was at the gas station across the street from the airport talking to the attendant shortly after the news broke. He said that JFK JR and stopped in that faithful night, he said that JR was the nicest guy and very friendly.
His flight instructor tried politely to-go-with-him, as he knew he wasn't ready to make the flight, but he refused, his leg was injured and the flight was delayed due to road traffic meant he took off later than he planned for. Sorry all the same.
He wasn’t qualified to fly after dark. He had no business flying after the sun went down.
Yes he was. But over the ocean in haze was the problem.
i think he was feeling reckless meeting his Destiny.
@@6821hominy he wasn't fully instrument trained. when the haze set in that's when he should have been able to turn to the instrument panel and complete the flight successfully. not being fully instructed was a big factor in the crash along with weather conditions.
@@lisabradford8180 correct.
@@6821hominy i know nothing about flying but i just can't imagine feeling ok to fly without all of the proper training that one should have. not being fully versed in instrument flight rules (?) i'm kind of surprised the crash didn't happen before it did. it's a risk i can't imagine taking myself.
I studied this accident before. And the reason why this accident happen back in 1999 is JFK Jr.'s was experience spatial disorientation resulting the loss of control of his aircraft.
There's the fact that he was flying in the dark when he should have left earlier.
I was 18 at this time and it was big news, even hours of coverage. Can't believe it's been 25 years now, even then I knew he and the other 2 were gone before they were found. May he and his wife and SIL RIP.
@traybern u don't know how to count it's 41
@traybern u r really d u m b
So sad that he didn’t take more precautions with that flight. He was still a student not a full pilot yet. Sad and preventable.😔
Yeah I would say the same thing if I believe everything the media said about his death
Classic case of feeling overly confident and not enough skill.
that was the family trait
The Dunning-Kruger effect occurs when a person's lack of knowledge and skill in a certain area causes them to overestimate their own competence.
Not this woman again. I've already said it. SHE'S NUTS!!
Huh?
@@guineapiglady2841 They posted another video last week with her talking bad about the Kennedys. She's hateful
She can’t make it on her own so she just rides off the tragedies of others
Way beyond his capabilities to fly that plane. Just because you can afford a plane doesn’t mean you’re qualified enough to fly. He didn’t have the ability to fly based on instrumentation. He only had visual flight training. Once it became dark he couldn’t tell up from down because he didn’t have training on instrument flying.
Kennedy did not hold an instrument rating and therefore was only certified to fly under visual flight rules (VFR). At the time of the crash, the weather and light conditions were such that all basic landmarks were obscured, making visual flight challenging, although legally still permissible.
Someone with an instrument rating volunteered (with pay and to get more hours in) to fly with him to where he wanted to go, but JFK jr declined.
Let’s not judge him. None of us besides maybe his sister truly knows what he went through in his life. I hope he’s resting in peace.
I remember that very vividly.
Congratulations.
He crashed near where I used to have a summer house,we heard a lot of helicopters go past our house.
In junior high,I had a class with her. She was so sweet.
Why didn’t JFK Jr. have a trained pilot fly the plane ??
Because just like Travolta and all of these other celeb amateur flyers, it’s an ego thing. They want to feel like heroes and have control over something in their lives.
@@sadepennbrook It was said that people worried about him flying.
Because he WAS a trained pilot. He was Hilaryd
JFK jrs mother did not allow him to get a plane while she was alive. She was to worried about JFK jr crashing the plane.
He was offered a co pilot but he declined.
Thank you inside edition for not doing a fluff piece!
"A really good man" never lays a hand on a woman.
I’m currently reading the book about Carolyn. She seemed like a great person to have known. I hate how the media portrayed her as this cold and angry person who never smiled and always wore black. I really feel for the Bessettes. One mother lost two daughters and a sister lost not only her baby sister, but her twin sister too. It’s sad that we don’t know a lot about Lauren. At least the book about Carolyn gives the reader a snapshot of who she was prior to being married to John. May they all continue to RIP.
Title?
I thought Carolyn was so beautiful and classy. She did not deserve the lies and vitriol thrown at her. The gossip rags vilified this woman, and told the most outrageous lies about her. In truth, she was just a woman in love with a very famous man. I felt so bad for her mother losing both of her daughters at the same time. I think what clouded most of the sympathy for their mother were all the lawsuits and the millions of dollars she received after their deaths. No amount of money on earth could ever compensate for losing two daughters in such a tragic, horrific way. And I think of JFK Jr's sister, Caroline, who lost her father and brother in such a tragic way and then her mother. I hope both families have found some form of peace now.
HAD ABSOLUTELY NO REGARD FOR ANYTHING INCLUDING OLD LADY AND SISTER. DEATH SPIRAL. LOST VISIBILITY NOSE DOWN TO SEE THE LIGHTS DOWN AND NO RECOVERY.
So many of the Kennedy’s died tragically 🥴
The Kennedy's must have a curse on it
Wasn't supposed to be flying in the first place. He didnt have an ifr rating, but flew anyway.
he has the most beautiful smile
Never known to fail before? It was well known he had failed the Bar exam 3-5x before starting George. He struggled to find a career that was a good fit for him and acceptable to the Kennedy name, and unfortunately, in a very public way.
Read the book by Michael Bergin called "The Other Man" about the Love Triangle between the Calvin Klein model, Carolyn and JFK jr.
he knew about ufos..
He also predicted 9/11 and Covid
I've always been a Kennedy fan and during my pilot training before being a certified pilot, I learnt about the misfortune JFK JR had when he flew into IMC and I myself had a few lucky escapes and that's why I did my Instrument Rating and I recall flying in clouds after qualifying and being in a rate one turn to the left and feeling like I was turning right while being upside down and spared a moment to realise how frightened he and the passengers would have felt in that moment.
I was actually on a small commercial flight with them in 1997 from NYC to Hyannis
Prof
Nobody cares.
I care
Congrats🤪
@@bush-b5330 yeah you to buddy 😂
On the cover of People you say? A new book out they say?
Why isn't that an intriguing coincidence that theres a sudden interest in JFK Jr.
Wouldn't it be something if he was still alive today, especially with elections at the end of the year and the People of America needing some light and hope at the end of the tunnel.
That would really be something, now wouldn't it.
Great minds think alike.
This family is cursed somehow
It was a coincidence just running gor tge senate seat against hillary 😂😂😂
ofc it was an assassination
And the moon is made of cheese
😂😂😂
I agree
sounds more like suicide than anything sneaky, I rather know about JFK without redactions
I rememmber that, I was 6 at the time
These people need to get a life and stop let this man rest in peace
I learned JFK in history. But no one told me he had a son.
then you're history teacher failed you. a couple famous pics of him, one under his dad's desk in the oval office and one of him saluting his dads casket at the funeral.
He had a son and daughter.
Clueless
This is common knowledge. Every history class talks about JFK Jr in the White House. You should at least know about JFK’s brother.
What.!!!
Rest Peacefully .. 🌻 JFK and crew. The world misses u.
He wasn't the brightest bulb as he took the barxexam 3 times before passing.
0:56.... I didnt not know that JFK jr. was that selfish that he didnt care about others in a bigger plane. He selfishly killed himself and his passengers when he disregarded flight safety and rules.
My professional pilot uncle explained how easy it was for JFKjr to get spaciously disoriented. He did not have that many hours in the airplane and his wife ask him to make one more stop that day. To much for the inexperienced pilot.
There will never be another JFK.
Its been 25 years. All of this has been public knowledge for 25 years. Everyone hyper focuses on JFK Jr's flying abilities, but even the most certified and knowledgeable pilots make mistakes. Reviving this only brings a new generation in to bash the deceased. Let Caroline Kennedy, who suffered many tragic losses and Carolyn and Lauren's mother have peace.
I was thinking it was insinuating he committed murder-suicide but then the last speaker cleared that up.
Johns brother in law Ed Schlosseberg bullied Carolyn constantly and after their deaths he bullied Carolyns family over where to burry the remains
Is she hinting at suicide? The no coms and turning off the auto pilot
"Crash"
- CIA
THIS!!!!!
ive said time and again,he promised his mother on her death bed that he would never fly again after she asked him not to,she had a premonition she had a feeling,and he broke that promise sealing his fate
Listen to momma people.
This happened a long time ago
Princess Diana had a crush on him. She imagined she would marry him and become FLOTUS.
😢
Rich and the Clueless.
The dog died too.
JFK jr. was a new pilot without IFR certification. He flew a visual heading following the coastline. Night fell apon them and he lost the horizon. Unable to read his instruments properly because he wasn’t IFR certified he corkscrewed it right into the ocean .He was a very cocky pilot and his cockiness caused his demise. He had no business taking off that time of day. He should’ve left earlier.
cuh
unable to fly on instruments, 3 people died.
rip
Missing you two.
🛩🕯🥀...
Hilary
Solider boy
George was meant to reveal George.
Prince?😂😂
Imagine if he had hit a packed AA flight.....
Regardless, why anybody is willing to hop in one of those small planes is beyond me
HE WAS DOOMED AT BIRTH😱🙏🙏KENNEDY PRESSURE.
That is George Onassis!! No wonder why he named his magazine George!! Read stolen identity by John Fitzgerald Kennedy Junior. Pictures look identical to him!!
Her book is an oral biography I wonder how she got the job as his assistant
6th
I can’t believe electricity i’m a legend
Rip
DUDE you cant be serious
So him and his secretary were deffs getting it on.
Carolyn was having an affair with Michael Bergin. FACT
Damn. That author held nothing back giving her opinion on anyone related to that family. You can tell its a hot button subject for her. She didn't even know what she was talking about going off the cuff with "turned off his radio his autopilot" lmaoooo stick to being mad at them over women.
I won't read the book.
Too much coke
That's what they want you to think he knew too much what was going on so they had him killed.
Sorry he’s alive my dad was with him in North Dakota he stood on top of Washington head on mt Rushmore
Hmm his life is falling apart right before he dies … almost like he knew something and ppl wanted him to shut up ..
Some say that the 08 presidential democratic ticket was for JFK jr.
A REAL DEMOCRAT
A rare maybe unique potential political candidate who was actually genuinely a good person, with integrity and contrary to popular belief, very intelligent, which was easily misrepresented because of his handsomeness and humility. A person who actually had ideals and heros that could change the country for real (see interview with Charlie Rose). Married and gearing up to enter politics and sure to win. All this and would they let him live ? Why with their power does his family not question it ? Feels like he was the only one not corrupt among them because his soul resembles his mother.
He was really a great guy.and is missed.
However, without any disrespect intended, I still question why the search and recovery operation was conducted with US .military resources at taxpayer expense.
1:08 I knew it. He wanted to die. No more pressures, no more media stress. Dive, dive, dive.. 🎉❤ Amen.
Q plot. DJT knows.
is he Q?
@@giarc3908 No. Q took him out because he might be President. It’s obvious. His uncle knows.
If not.. just make things up... How maga works.. we don't need no stinkin proof!
@@giarc3908 the opposite: Q was afraid John Jr. might be President one day. They decided to take action.
@@antihero5203i agree. What does Q mean ? Thx
Good man ??? 😂
jfk jr was a novice flyer. not good at instruments
It’s not giving much coverage because I believe it 100% on point there’s a better book out there by a New York award-winning author, Mrs. Callahan I believe her name is I don’t remember her first. I just ordered the book and reading it. It’s about all the Kennedy women, it has a great couple chapters on JFK, Junior and Carolyn. it is absolutely worth the read. I believe it’s called ass nut what you can do
The Kennedy Curse
Wasn’t that him behind trump at the PA rally in the large grey hat and fake nose? He’s at most rallies.
You’re seeing things! They're fools!
Republicans like me do not give a care!
*I DON’T CARE.*
Yet you had to respond
Troll much?
Who really cares!
Our own government is what killed that family.
Wrong! Stop lying.
@@StephenLuke They just tried to kill Trump.
@@StephenLuke Trump about got departed by them too just now.
damn 25 years...gezz. I was 17 almost 18 seems like yesterday.
To think a whole generation of people have been born and many have died in this time. I love thinking that
