John F. Kennedy, only three years before his assassination in 1963, faced a significant threat to his life in December 1960 thanks to Richard Pavlick. As Kennedy stepped out from a family property in Florida, Pavlick was armed with a car filled with explosives, ready to detonate. Luckily, chance intervened, allowing Kennedy to escape unharmed. The incident, likely overlooked by historians like Robert Dallek, emphasizes the precariousness of Kennedy's early political life and how numerous assassination attempts often remain obscured in historical narratives.
In December 1960, John F. Kennedy narrowly escaped assassination when Richard Pavlick approached him with a car filled with explosives, making it a near-miss for history.
Historian Robert Dallek's analysis of JFK's life notably omits Richard Pavlick's attempted assassination, highlighting how often such close calls go unrecorded in history.
