General Motors was worried that they would end up getting sued as Kennedy was driving an Oldsmobile at Chappaquiddick. So they sent a team of engineers to study the car, the road and the bridge where the accident happened. After a week of close examination with special equipment that measured the friction of the road surface, the angle of the road turn leading up to the bridge, and every aspect of the submerged Oldsmobile the engineers came up with their conclusion.
Kennedy had to be going at least 100 miles per hour around the corner approaching the bridge for Mary Jo’s panties to end up in the glove box during the accident!!!
My grandmother crossed it when she was seventy. My mother said she didn't bat an eye.
