Carolyn’s mother suffered through a huge loss. Two children gone. So sad.
So true just devasting for her.
Something that seems to go overlooked unfortunately.
She lost more than two children. Jackie had a full-term pregnancy that the baby was stillborn and several other miscarriages. She grieved them all and often all by herself.
Yeah, and Lisa Bessette lost her twin sister, her younger sister and brother-in-law.
@Sophie_kent They are all alive, JFK Jackie JFKJ Carolyn Marilyn Monro Elvis and hundreds more,blackout due anytime now.
I worked in the same office as his sister-in-law, sat in front of her office. She was on the plane too! She spoke fluent Chinese, very beautiful and interesting woman. RIP Lauren, Carolyn and John.
I never knew Lauren spoke fluent Chinese. I love learning languages as well.
她也读和写中文吗？
@@samreilly1484 Well, she can't, she passed away. But I think she did. She learned from a college friend and her family; she was very close with them. She was proud of having learned and really appreciated the culture. That's all I remember.
@@thisis.michelletorres444 oh right sorry I didn’t put this in the past tense. Unlike English, you don’t have to conjugate verbs in Chinese. How did you read all this btw?
@@samreilly1484There's a 'translate to English' underneath every foreign sentence!
Jfk Jr. was the combination of his mother and father that is why he was so good looking. He got the best of both.
JFK and Jackie were both extremely attractive. JFK, JR was the perfect blend of both parents (all due respect to his lovely sister). He was impossibly gorgeous ❤ He did, however, have ADD or ADHD, both cause problems with attention and memory, and can also cause impulsiveness. What a tragic loss of a young man who might have followed in his father's footsteps to the presidency. 😢
I see a lot of Jackie O in John John’s face
I just said the same thing to myself
Yeah, Kennedy was pale and reddish, the Irish origin. Got Jackie's colouring.
I still miss him. Cannot believe it was 25 years ago. He left a gap in US culture. Nobody else has come close to being what he was to this country.
Same. Just doesn't seem right.
i agree💔💔
So true.
He was so so handsome and charming! How could he be gone for 25 years now. Sad!
Wow. Can’t believe it’s been 2 and a half decades. I’m now the age John was when he was killed; I’m 38 now. When he was killed I was 13, not quite 14. RIP John, Carolyn and Lauren. Gone but never forgotten
We lived only a few hours away from the Georgia island where he got married. I was 13 but remember he was so attractive and charismatic, the total package.
I worked for his cousin for awhile and he called the office a few times. One time, I thought he said his name was "Sean", and though he must have thought I was the dumbest person in the room, he simply giggled a bit and gently repeated his, "John". He never had an attitude when he called. Cannot believe this tragedy was 25 years ago. So heartbreaking.
that's an awesome story - and goes along with so many other things we've heard about him.Just a good dude. Thanks for sharing.
Yes he may have been a good guy but you have to question his judgement, he should not have flown that plane with a bad leg, so sad, what could have been..
They say Sean is Irish for John, and the Kennedys were proud upholders of their Irish roots. John Lennon said he called his son Sean, as it was Irish for John.
So many people were looking for his father in him… what a heavy weight to bear. Sad he lost his father so soon and never got to really know or learn from him.
His dad was a trash human being. Does not mean he was trash too, but he was nothing special. What we now know is he was not a nice person, and seemed to be living a chaotic life.
@@chrisgullett4332 JFK cheated on Jackie. His grandfather was a criminal. JFK JR failed the bar three times. His magazine going down the toilet. He definitely wasn’t smart or remarkable. Everyone treated him like he was though.
A good looking man! I hope he is resting peacefully!
A person's friends tell a lot about them.
Rest in paradise, J.
Have never forgotten him!
Remember it like yesterday. RIP to the Trio. Going to Rory 's wedding. ❤
me neither. John is one of those people that won't be forgotten any time soon💯
@@lisabradford8180 thank you. Aquina. Much love.
@@lenaaustin6692 😁😘
I remember this and it was a really sad day for the US 😔😔😔....
Before this day 25 ago we lost hope for a true lost US President.
Bro do you even Grammar?
He would never have been president.
He'd be 63 right now, an excellent age for a president.
@@ikkespillendekarakter3924 but he might have become the next governor of New York three and a half years after his untimely passing and anything could have happened after that. Plus he had his dad’s name and turned 3 the day after his dad was assassinated.
Kennedy Obama 08 would be the great ticket for The Democrat in 2008 I know most disagree with me I saw the Video He was upset about Columbine he probably if he lived be more upset about 9/11/01 that tragic event might have been maybe got him into First New York Governor then President Number 44 beating John McCain and Sarah Palin in 2008.
I still miss JFK Jr. What a sweet guy he was - we were exactly the same age. Wow I miss him.
I was just a little girl when his father was killed. I remember my mother sitting right in front of the TV and she was sobbing for hours.
I also remember where I was when John Jr died. I was at work going up an elevator when a radio news report said his plane was missing.
I immediately broke down. And I realized exactly why my own mother cried so hard.
Because now I was doing it as well.
We lost the closest thing to a prince this country will ever know along with his amazing princess and her beautiful sister. My thoughts and prayers go out to both families that have been forced to accept such a tragic and devastating loss.
I for one will remember them all.
Wow jfk jr & Mike Tyson were friends
"To be Irish, is to know that in the end, the world is going to break your heart." Sen. Pat Moynihan
Ugh
Sad but true.
"There's no point in being Irish if you don't know that the world is eventually going to break your heart."
Goodbye Prince Of Camelot. July 16, 1999 you died twenty-five years ago today. July 16, 2024
He and Diana died in their late thirties. I think they were both up for huge things and the world would have perhaps been a little different with them alive until today.
Právě aby svět nebyl jiný, museli odejít ...
I remember watching the news coverage from my apt in Turtle Bay. My Mom had come to visit me. She’s been gone 15 years. Hard to believe this was a quarter century ago. So sad.
Still brings tears to my eyes. ❤🙏🏻
Can't believe it been 25yrs already since John John, passed? Wow, unbelievable!
Fine looking man…what could have been if he was our POTUS back then.
Pretty sad story, isn't it? His dad was murdered, his mother died too soon, he married the wrong woman, his magazine didn't go well and his life ended when he flew his plane into the water. Fame and money isn't everything in the world.
You should use common sense as he had a broken leg, he should not have flown a plane.
The magazine was only out a few months when he died...
@@MeMeDaVinci The magazine had been out for several years by then. Debuted in 1995, John died in 1999.
@@cocoaorange1 He had a broken ankle, and had just had his cast removed the day before. But no, he shouldn't have flown in that weather, but he was impatient and tried to push it further than fate was willing to let him go.
@@bobbicampbell5233 plus he only had 300 flight hours and didn’t have an instrument rating. He could only fly VFR. And he was too arrogant and wouldn’t let an instructor fly with him. Very tragic and preventable and this could have been the next governor of New York three and a half years later and he might have even run for president afterwards.
Can’t believe it’s been 25 years!
I can’t believe it’s been 25 years since we lost jfk jr
He died the year my only daughter was born. Now she’s turning 25 and I remember keeping the piece of paper with the tragic news to show my daughter the most trascendental events that took place the year of her birth. He was a humble, good guy, who deserved to live a long happy life 🤍🕊️ and so did his wife and sister in law. Gone too soon. So sad!
I really love the Kennedys, even though I am not from the United States, but I lived in USA and the people were all fantastic, loving, generous and caring.
Thank you 😊🇺🇸
How is it 25 years already
Hard to believe he would have been 63 has he lived! Like his father "he had every gift but length in years" - as famously said by his uncle Teddy at his memorial service.
I heard that JFK Jr was a prankster yet very down to earth. I feel that you could relate and he could relate to you.
So sad 😢 would of been our president
Without doubt. Trump wouldn't stand chance
Sadly he and his wife were struggling and she didn't want to go on that trip. Her sister convinced her and came along to help with that. I hope God has a plan.
He has a plan for all of us.
He wanted to be an actor, but his mother put her foot down and said “No I won’t let you be an actor.”
He was friends with James Spader
That's unfortunate because although he was most definitely a nice guy, I don't think he had the intellectual aptitude for a career in the legal profession, based on his academic struggles with it. Some other field would have been more suited to his makeup. Not being academic doesn't mean you're not a worthy or good person - just that your talents and gifts lie in other areas of life.
Just like King Charles
She didn't want him to fly either!
I remember exactly what I was doing that night,I was going for usual mile or two walk ,feeling a litte lonely because my boyfriend was out of town ,I got home turned the t v. on and it was all over the news,that family has endured so much heartbreak,gone too soon ,his dad his Uncle Bobby ,then him his wife and sister in law .
Kat, this one was self inflicted. they ( and he himself ) knew he could not fly that plane.
@@PHlopheIt was a horrific accident and I'm sure he regretted it the moment the plane was going down. Nothing you can do now but cherish the memory and try to be kind
@@PHlophe Hardly self-inflicted. He was not rated to fly on instruments only. From what I've read, there was a horrible smog bank along the east coast. Even if he paid attention to the weather reports, there's no way he could have been prepared for what he flew into. He lost his bearings and then didn't know where anything was anymore. I watched an experience pilot being interviewed afterward, and he reported all this. That pilot said without instruments nobody could have flown that night.
He looks so perfect and handsome....
Please accept my condolences for you, his family, all this who loved him, and all whose life he touched. 🙏
She was stunning....the world would be different and for the good, if only....
Went down in his prime. Was so sad for their dog, Friday. Sad time for all.
We need books on JFK Junior
It doesn't seem like it had been 25 years wow
“Why this book? Why now” her answer should have been “I need the money”
I thought it was so sad when they died. They were so young. It’s funny how time still goes on. Life really is a blessing. Now, we will always wonder if he would’ve been the next president if he was still alive
The day we lost them was so sad!
I'm glad Rosemarie tries to keep his memory alive, unlike his sister who wants us to forget him and his wife.
What an amazing man so sad how his life ended 😢
He should have been president ❤
This poor family
I wish John was still with us. He seemed like a wonderful man.
He was friends with Mike Tyson?! That’s cool.
I remember where I was that day when I heard the sad sad news I was lying on a beach in Martha’s Vineyard in Vineyard Haven, listening to the radio with my Sony headset, and Peter Jennings came on the news breaking news and was just so sad. I couldn’t believe it.
Thanks.
Am I the only one who believes that had he lived, he would have become a senator, Vice President or even President, instead of Obama.😮?
No. He was definitely eyeballing a political career, and if he'd been even marginally successful I'm sure he would've at least seriously considered a run for the Presidency.
First he would have been the next governor of New York after 9/11
Yes 🙌
He definitely would’ve been New York’s senator instead of Hillary Clinton
@@Creyole and might have even defeated Trump in the 2016 presidential election!
I had turned 25 years old
I've just finished listening to the audiobook. there's no denying he was a gorgeous looking man but, in the book, he came across as a kind soul with it.
John's Loss is Still Felt Still This Day !! So Much Potential that was Taken Away at Such a Young Age .What could Have Been ...
Its hard to believe its has been 25 years. Such a loss of a great life. He only wanted to have a happy life. Not sure if that was really possible being a Kennedy. So many people wanted too much from him. Could he give it. Unfortunately he married the wrong woman. You know the old saying, the good die young
This female reporter is wrong. John did know his father, but not well because he had lost him. I was in high school when Carolyn, Lauren, and John died in a plane crash that should not been prevented because they would have spouses, parents, and grandparents by now. May they all rest in peace. See their spirits everywhere I go. I am still a fan of the Kennedys.
He was sooooo handsome
25 years ago??? Seems like yesterday.
One of the saddest moments in US history 💔
Rip jfk jr who in haven with his awesome dad mum and uncle Robert
and Auntie Lee Radzwill and Cousin Tony as well
@@markdwighttadina7655 he is making a about him and his father
He was nice
There is never any focus or even a mention of Caroline... 😥
@@meryltom7591 So true. 😥
😢I miss you John ❤I thing off him all time just it was yesterday may you rest in peace and Carolyn And her Sister 👩
john john ......weep
He was America's son and a child of the World.
JFK, Jr. should not have flown, wasn't one of his legs in a cast? A bad case of ego as one of the comments said that cost him his life and those of his wife and sister in law, there comes a time when we all will leave this earth but sometimes people "speed up the process" when they do stupid things, wish there had been someone, anyone that could have talked him out of that idea, so much promise gone and for what, he didn't want to fly comercial and with his bank he could have hired a "real" pilot to fly them to his cousin"s wedding...
A tragic death so young & recently married w his wife & sister-in-law hope they're now happy in the next world 😢😢😢
I’ll be publishing a book series soon, where John doesn’t die, marries a not dead Princess Diana, and the two live through the 2000s. It’s in his honor.
Uh-huh.
@@mariannebonner2280😂😂😂..
John Jr. SHOULD HAVE married Princess Diana...then perhaps both of them would still be alive . The way Charles treated Diana, if she had married John, she would have traded up, from a phony Prince, to a real one.❤
@@jocelynharris-fx8ho oh yeah. You’re gonna love the books then. I give them children (Flynn and Allegra), and both are heroes during the events of 9/11z eventuality they make it to the White House, and Diana is such a beloved First Lady, they change the constitution to allow for her to run for president. But in the end, she rejects it because it’s not about her.

😂
Remember everyone, former President Chomp vowed to find out who was piloting that plane.
🙏🏽 🕊️ ❤
I love you 💕.
miss kotbe? What aren’t you telling us ? And miss Savanah as well
I remember the day his plane went missing. Such a tragic thing n something that still doesn’t seem real
I don’t understand why they, or someone in family doesn’t sue the magazine.
Why would you say that?
I didn’t know about this fatal plane accident until the 25th anniversary because I didn’t watch the news and I was a big fan of Disney channel
Rich people dying doing rich person things
Ask Not
Handsome
Shellie keys are you watching , start praying 😊
🙏
This is the biggest tragedy ever I pray the world will venge this family's crimes
Much love
Umm he is famous for what again??
❤❤❤❤
He was a addict and couldn't handle life every body walked off or wanted to judt be his friend. His mom died and she was his life line to handle life.

Sirry bid u can't marry me tgen u can't say u oassed snd failed bc thats cheated u can't marry me seitch it to narry me again I do not do things that way cheating do u get me back im sorry
Who knows what would have been. He would be just 63 now and could be a good presidential candidate.
Carolyn Bessette looks like she was aging. Her sister Lauren was far more attractive and it's too bad she went along for the ride.
Hoda the workaholic

How come everybody worships jfk jr. He was reckless and it caused the death of 2 women

Honestly, all these years later, when I think of him, I think of the two women that were in the plane with him. He was not qualified to make that flight and basically murdered them. I read the NTSB report and it was very clear that his training was sporadic, and that he was not qualified to fly at night in limited visibility. His ego was running the show.
I agree 100%! Kobe’s pilot was the opposite in that he was too experienced and too familiar with this kind of weather (which he didn’t encounter until about 90 miles into the 100-mile flight and 40 miles northwest of LA) and thought he could handle anything. But sometimes the weather wins. And to think he might have become the next governor of New York three and a half years later or better yet might have even won the presidential nomination five years later, and unlike Kerry, defeated Bush in the 2004 election.
He was qualified on paper. His flight was legal however the conditions were at the fringes of his experience and abilities. Hence why his instructor offered to accompany him but didn't push the issue.
@@PabloGonzalez-hv3td that is true, but the NTSB investigation indicated that he actually hadn’t completed the training properly. He changed instructors on multiple occasions and he didn’t keep up with it consistently he went back, took some time off. Meaning he should not have been certified to fly in those conditions. his arrogance is what ended their lives, which is sad.
can't stand nbc and today by being so liberal but this was a great story.
even you are very rich.don't buy and don't Fly a private jet.your life will be shorter.
Happy Belated 25th Year Death
Anniversary to JFK Jr., Carolyn and her sister Lauren!!
