 Then, rather, 25 years ago, JFK Jr. crashed his plane. I happened to be in New York covering something else when that happened. We all scrambled down to his apartment in Lower Manhattan. And then the vigil, and then the wait, and then the word that they found the wreckage. He was dead, along with his wife and his sister-in-law. JFK Jr., 25 years ago today. That may have changed history, because a lot of people think had he lived, he would have ran for the White House.
