On July 19, 1969 at 12:50 am, a car being driven by Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy takes a wrong turn on Chappaquiddick Island and accidentally plunges into the water off of Dyke Bridge. Kennedy survives, but his passenger, campaign aide Mary Jo Kopechne is trapped and drowns in the vehicle. This incident would ultimately end Ted Kennedy's bid for the U.S. Presidency.
