I was just curious as to what you brothers thought about this.
And also, what are the theories surrounding the assisanation of RFK???
1941 - Rosemary Kennedy was believed to be mentally retarded as she grew older; she became increasingly violent and suffered severe mood swings. Subsequently, she underwent a popular neurosurgical technique of the time with the intention of controlling her outbursts. The lobotomy impaired her cognitive abilities even more and she remained in an institution until her death in 2005 as a result. Due to this tragedy, several of the Kennedy family have been involved in advocacy on behalf of developmentally disabled people (founded Special Olympics and other organizations) and mental illness.
August 12, 1944 - Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr., the eldest son of the Kennedy patriarch Joseph Kennedy, is killed over the English Channel while flying a mission during World War II.
September 10, 1944 - William Cavendish, Marquess of Hartington, son in law of the Kennedy patriarch Joseph Kennedy, is killed in action by a sniper in Belgium while serving as a major in the Coldstream Guards during World War II.
May 13, 1948 - Kathleen "Kick" Kennedy Cavendish, Marchioness of Hartington, dies in a plane crash in France.
1955 - Jacqueline Kennedy suffers a miscarriage.
August 23, 1956 - Jacqueline Kennedy gives birth to a stillborn daughter. (Although the daughter was unnamed and is buried at Arlington National Cemetery next to her parents with a marker reading "Daughter," later reports indicated that the Kennedys had intended to call her "Arabella Kennedy".)
December 19, 1961 - Joseph P. Kennedy, the family patriarch, suffers a greatly disabling stroke which makes movement and communication extremely difficult and limited until his death.
August 9, 1963 - Patrick Bouvier Kennedy, the second son of John and Jacqueline Kennedy, dies two days after his birth, nearly six weeks premature.
November 22, 1963 - President John F. Kennedy is assassinated in Dallas, Texas (see John F. Kennedy assassination).
June 19, 1964 - Sen. Ted Kennedy is in a plane crash in which one of his aides and the pilot were killed. He was pulled from the wreckage by fellow senator Birch E. Bayh II (D-Ind.) and spent weeks in a hospital recovering from a severe back injury, a punctured lung, broken ribs, and internal bleeding.
June 5, 1968 - Robert F. Kennedy, brother to both John and Ted, is shot multiple times in Los Angeles, immediately following his victory in the California Democratic presidential primary (see Robert F. Kennedy assassination). He died the next day.
1969 - "Chappaquiddick Incident": A car driven by Ted Kennedy goes off a bridge, killing passenger Mary Jo Kopechne, a former aide to Robert Kennedy.
1973 - Edward Kennedy, Jr., loses his right leg due to bone cancer at the age of twelve.
January 23, 1973 - Alexander Onassis, stepson of Jacqueline Kennedy, dies in a plane crash. Some claim that the Onassis family also has a curse of its own.
1973 - Joseph P. Kennedy II, son of Robert and Ethel, is the driver in a car accident that leaves one passenger, Pam Kelle, permanently paralyzed.
April 25, 1984 - David A. Kennedy, a son of Robert, dies from a Demerol and cocaine overdose in a Palm Beach, Florida, hotel room.
November 19, 1988 - Christina Onassis, stepdaughter of Jacqueline Kennedy, dies in Argentina of drug abuse-related heart failure.
1994 - Jacqueline Kennedy is diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a type of cancer, dies later that year on May 19 from it.
1997 - Michael Kennedy, son of Robert, becomes embroiled in an adultery scandal involving allegations of statutory rape. Dies later that year on December 31 in a skiing accident in Aspen, Colorado.
July 16, 1999 - John F. Kennedy, Jr.; his wife, Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy; and Carolyn's sister Lauren Bessette die when the private plane Kennedy is piloting crashes into the Atlantic Ocean on a hazy evening en route from Essex County Airport in Fairfield, New Jersey to Martha's Vineyard. Kennedy was rated for Visual Flight Rules but not for Instrument Flight Rules, which the situation required. His plane was fully instrumented. In the darkness and the fog, the pilot lost track of the small airport and went into the ocean. Unfortunately, JFK, Jr, had not taken the time necessary for an instrument rating. When he took off, just before dark, visual flight was barely possible; by the time the plane reached Martha's Vineyard, it wasn't. However his fuel control selector was switched manually into the off position and Kennedy always flew with a flight instructor and there was reported to have been one with him, the passenger seat of the plane was never found, which is where the instructor would have been.
