Nah. It was a young Donald Trump and his gang of White Supremacists who re-arranged the road signs.
I hope that the drowning in the car scene is brutal as can be.
Wow, I had not considered that possibility but it certainly is plausible . . . the MSM and establishment repukes have said so!
Mary Jo kopechne was not available for comment.
Yes! I whole-heartedly agree.
But it will be awarded several Oscars, which mean about as much anymore as the Nobel Prize.
There used to be a website called ytedk that went into all the details of what happened in this incident (as far as can be determined), with parallel timelines, etc. The site wasn't maintained, but there is a rough copy here.
It is a fascinating, if dark, subject for a movie.
Fun fact....
The official album photographer, Henry Diltz, also played the banjo on “Don’t Cross the River”.
Her family was, though:

This article confirms that Kennedy paid the family, btw.
The bridge was replaced by a ferry to transport folks/cars across the gap and I couldn't help telling my wife about Teddy's cowardly behavior at that spot so many years ago. Several folks overheard and I got some nasty looks - smiled back at them and asked if I had got the story wrong and they wouldn't meet my eye after that.
America played a local (now defunct) bar here a few years back. They wanted a $50-$100 per person cover charge.
I didn’t go................
She sacrificed her life to save America from a Ted Kennedy presidency.
“...smiled back at them and asked if I had got the story wrong...”
Good for you!
That’s what I was thinking, or multiple shots of him valiantly trying to save her, and then breaking down when he can’t.
YIKES!
To quote a line from the great movie “Used Cars”....”That’s too F’n high!”
“Used Cars” was a very early collaboration between Steven Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis.

Took my wife a long time to get used to my “blunt instrument” approach to the lefties - she has since adopted that approach for certain types.
EVERY Republican should go. Imagine the news when it breaks a record.
In a land where I was born
Lived a man who sailed to sea
And he told me of his night
In a 4-wheel submarine
So we drove up to the bridge
Till we found the sea of green
And we looked beneath the waves
For the 4-wheel submarine
We all died in a 4-wheel submarine
4-wheel submarine, 4-wheel submarine
We all died in a 4-wheel submarine
4-wheel submarine, 4-wheel submarine
And our friends are all in town
Many more of them live next door
And the people start to play
We all died in a 4-wheel submarine
4-wheel submarine, 4-wheel submarine
We all died in a 4-wheel submarine
4-wheel submarine, 4-wheel submarine
Now we live a life of ease
Every one of us has all we need
Whiskey gold and money green
So we forget that submarine
We all died in a 4-wheel submarine
4-wheel submarine, 4-wheel submarine
We all died in a 4-wheel submarine
4-wheel submarine, 4-wheel submarine
