Just before midnight on July 18, 1969, U.S. Senator Edward "Ted" Kennedy drove a car off a wooden bridge into a tidal channel on tiny Chappaquiddick Island, an accident that took the life of Mary Jo Kopechne, a passenger in the car Kennedy was driving.

That's the official account. We'll never know what really happened.

The accident didn't kill her. She suffocated because the Kennedys were more concerned about their reputation than they were about saving her.
