«Breaking News» Chappaquiddick series details how Ted Kennedy fled scene after watery crash as his passenger died

Ted Kennedy's actions in the wake of his 1969 car crash that left a woman dead will be the focus of the second episode of the new Fox News series Scandalous: Chappaquiddick.

The Kennedy family, who had been hoping to continue their political dynasty by pushing Ted to run for president in the wake of his brothers' deaths, did get a little bit of help pushing the story out of the press a few weeks after the crash.

That was due to the brutal murders of actress Sharon Tate and other friends over the course of two nights on August 8 and 9,  three weeks after Kennedy drove his car off a bridge in Martha's Vineyard.

He managed to escape from the vehicle but his passenger, 28-year-old Mary Jo Kopechne lost her life.

He called his attorney and his speechwriter, but never any rescue workers or police. 

Kennedy was then dressed in a suit the following morning when the victim was finally pulled from the water. 

He had gone Martha's Vineyard to race in the Edgartown Regatta and on the evening of July 18, 1969, attended a party at a rented house on Chappaquiddick Island. Guests included Kennedy friends and several women, including Kopechne, who had worked on the presidential campaign of his brother Robert F. Kennedy, assassinated a year earlier.

Kennedy and Kopechne, 28, left the party together and a short time later their car plunged into Poucha Pond. Kennedy escaped from the submerged vehicle and said he made several futile attempts to rescue Kopechne, who was trapped inside.

Kennedy, who died in 2009, later described his failure to report the incident to police for 10 hours as 'indefensible.'

Scandalous: Chappaquiddick airs Sunday at 8pm on Fox News.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
