On the night of July 18, 1969, Edward Kennedy was on Chappaquiddick Island, Massachusetts at a party. Leaving the party, Kennedy was driving home with 28-year-old Mary Jo Kopechne as his passenger, when Kennedy drove off Dike Bridge. Kennedy escaped the vehicle safely and left the scene. But he did not call authorities until Kopechne's body was discovered the following day. Kennedy pleaded guilty to leaving the scene of an accident and was given a sentence of two months in jail, suspended. In this photo, a trailer is pulling his car out from the water.[cri.cn]
