On July 18, 1969, Mary Jo Kopechne, 28, died after drowning in a car accident off the shores of Martha's Vineyard, which became known as the Chappaquiddick case. Senator Ted Kennedy, who survived the accident, was driving the vehicle. He didn't report the crash for ten hours, saying he was "overpowered by a jumble of emotion - sadness, anxiety, and shock.' Ted Kennedy's Life reveals that after the crash, Kennedy told his families,'say nothing and do nothing.'
