(And of course Carolyn's sister, Lauren.)
Have you been watching any of the retrospective programming?

I watched the A&E special JFK Jr. The Final Year, which was excellent. Did you see it?
I was only 10, when they were killed, so I don't remember anything. But I do like JFK Jr for being so grounded, and I feel bad for how Carolyn has been vilified.

I haven't been watching but is there ever any side of this that comes down hard on JFK Jr. or is it all that it's just sad? I distinctly remember the not so sad take which was he was acting like a show-off and killed two people along with himself because of it.
That's horrible to say and might not be true but definitely at times that was floated around in a gossipy way.....I assume there's nothing to base that on and it was/is just gossip?

No, what's officially circulated now is that the crash was caused by a combination of pilot error and foggy weather conditions. The documentary that @waterloobridge is referencing definitely highlights JFK Jr.'s rash and reckless side, though - it's just that usually it was only himself he was putting in harm's way. |

Ugh! I missed that one. I also loved Carolyn's dress. |

Supposably he was meant to fly with a co-pilot, but instead did it on his own. He was also recovering from a broken leg (I don't know if he had the cast still on). The Bessette family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the Kennedys, which Caroline eventually gave them a few million. |
