The friends of JFK Jr. say he may have made a run at governor and possibly the White House if not for his tragic death at 38 in 1999.

In a week where John F. Kennedy Jr. would have celebrated his 60th birthday, his friends are lamenting that the world never got to see what the dashing presidential son would have become.died at 38 on July 16, 1999, when a plane he was piloting crashed into the Atlantic Ocean, killing him along with his wife, Carolyn, and his sister-in-law, Lauren Bessette.

"That was the crushing sort of gut punch line," Steel said."Now you look back, and you think of what might have been." A run for high-profile political office in New York was most likely in his future with an eye on one day returning the Kennedy family to the White House.

PeiSzeCheng4NY I feel sorrier for the Besettes who lost two daughters because of this ill-advised flight.

Such a sad story :(

Okay

John John 💙

Let's guess, you have Maria Schriver doing the 'reporting'. JFK Jr had become everything he would ever have become - the son of a president who was the son of an ambassador. We only knew his name because of his family. He didn't do anything. Kennedy worship is getting really old.

Bad pilot.

Imagine

JFK Jr. wouldn’t make it to President. I’m sure, otherwise he didn’t have to struggle a lot when he was in the 30 age. Lots common Americans hated the Kennedy. “So they said” that to I. God Grace

forever a beautiful soul

JFK Jr's magazine talked about Trump's flirtation w the reform party Potus candidacy in 2000... odd that this was glossed over since the relationship between these two was brought up.

It is sad he died too, but really? You sound more like he was stopped from succeeding to the throne....
