Of course it wasn't a “tragedy”.A tragedy is the result of an earthquake,tsunami,etc.What happened in Chappaquiddick was just the Kennedys being Kennedys.

“What happened in Chappaquiddick was just the Kennedys being Kennedys.”

Great line! My point is that I agree with you. When I was majoring in English in college, we were constantly reminded that the true meaning of “tragedy” is when a fault within a man causes his downfall (and, thus, the destruction of others), which is why Chappiquiddick WAS a tragedy because, as you put it: “What happened in Chappaquiddick was just the Kennedys being Kennedys.”
