25th Anniversary of JFK Jr. Plane Crash

Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy's mother, Ann Freeman, had warned John F. Kennedy Jr. not to fly with both her daughters at the same time before the fatal plane crash in 1999. Despite JFK Jr.'s passion for flying and his solace in it away from media attention, the crash took the lives of JFK Jr., Carolyn, and her sister Lauren Bessette en route to a family wedding. The tragedy, analyzed in various books and accounts, highlighted concerns about JFK Jr.'s inexperience as a pilot and Carolyn's reported lack of trust in his flying skills. The crash, attributed to spatial disorientation and pilot error, continues to be a poignant memory 25 years later, leaving a legacy of heartbreak and unanswered questions.
