Kennedy is despicable, but he wasn't flying the plane. The pilot and a Kennedy assistant died in the crash.
Still, Kennedy has done more harm to this country than nearly anyone and does NOT deserve such an award.
The pilot of the doomed twin- engine Aero Commander 680 was Ed Zimney. He had warned his 4 passengers that there were dangerous thunderstorms along their flight path and it was to be a rough flight. When the plane began to pitch and roll Zimney wanted to safely land the plane, wait out the storms and continue their journey when it was safe. Kennedy unfastened his seat belt, got up snapped at Zimney "damn it Ed we're late already." Moments later the plane plowed into an orchard instantly killing the pilot and legislative aid Ed Moss. Kennedy and Birch Bayh and Marvella Bayh survived.
