Essay/Term paper: Jfk jr. plane crash

Essay, term paper, research paper:  American History

The JFK Jr. plane crash affected our whole country this

past summer. John F. Kennedy Jr. with not all that much

experience decided to fly his wife, Carolyn Bassett and

himself to Hyannis Port for a family wedding, dropping off

his sister in law Lauren off at Martha"s Vineyard. It was a

foggy night and Kennedy crashed to his death just a mere

20 miles shy of Martha"s Vineyard. The Kennedy"s have

been a loved family of all Americans. This family has been

through more tragedies than most. Many reporters have

talked of "the Kennedy curse." Is the family cursed? Most

would say yes due to the ten deaths to this family over the

course of the years, only two of which were natural. The

average life span of the Kennedy"s is forty-four in

comparison to the general population of seventy-two years.

If I were the President of the United States of America I

would be deeply saddened by the loss of a very prominent

figure in the American culture. I would also be upset that

such a promising future for this man in our country was

taken away, seeing how John F. Kennedy Jr. was in line

for the presidential elections. On a personal level I would

be grateful for John F. Kennedy Jr. and his wife to be

together in their leaving this world and on to the next. It

was a sad event that such young people had to have their

lives taken from them. This event affected the country in a

big way. They all sat at home, offices, shopping marts, etc.

on the edge of their seats keeping up on this horrible event.

Everyone hoped even with such trying odds that John

would be okay. We all felt the loss of such a great man.
