Mary Jo Kopechne tried to breathe from last air pocket of sinking car
|
 - Mary Jo Kopechne, 28, died after drowning in a car crash off the waters of Martha's Vineyard on July 18, 1996, known as the Chappaquiddick scandal
- The car was driven by Senator Ted Kennedy, who fled the scene of the accident
- He failed to report the accident for ten hours claiming he 'was overcome by a jumble of emotion – grief, fear, doubt, exhaustion, panic, confusion and shock'
- New book Before Chappaquiddick, The Untold Story of Mary Jo Kopechne and the Kennedy Brothers takes a deeper look into Mary Jo's life and death
- Ted never apologized to Mary Jo's parents but he went on national television to ask the people of Massachusetts for their forgiveness
But see the graphic
- The author reveals Mary Jo had been thrown into the back and her head was cocked back with her face pressed into the foot-well of the floor trying to get air
- Despite Mary Jo being a loyal and trusted staffer to Robert Kennedy, the political family closed ranks and let the press run stories that she was an opportunist
