"FX's Love Story dramatizes the relationship between John F. Kennedy Jr. and his wife, Carolyn Bessette, whose high-profile coupling fueled rampant media scrutiny throughout the 1990s. But before exploring the start of their titular romance, the show (which premiered on Feb. 12) begins with a brief look at July 16, 1999 - the day Kennedy, Bessette, and her older sister, Lauren, died in a plane crash."
"How Did JFK Jr. & The Bessette Sisters Die? As noted in the National Transportation Safety Board's report about the accident, Kennedy's flight departed from Essex County Airport in New Jersey. The plan was to drop Lauren off in Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, before arriving in Hyannis, where a Kennedy family wedding was due to take place. Tragically, the plane would crash into the water at 9:41 p.m. that evening, approximately one hour after takeoff."
FX's Love Story dramatizes John F. Kennedy Jr.'s relationship with Carolyn Bessette and opens with the July 16, 1999 plane crash that killed Kennedy, Bessette, and Lauren Bessette. Kennedy's flight departed Essex County Airport intending to drop Lauren at Martha's Vineyard before proceeding to Hyannis for a family wedding. The aircraft crashed into the water at 9:41 p.m., about an hour after takeoff. The NTSB found the probable cause to be the pilot's failure to maintain control during a nighttime descent resulting from spatial disorientation. Haze and darkness were cited as contributing factors. Toxicology tests were negative and autopsies indicated instantaneous death. A fellow pilot reported postponing his flight that evening because of the conditions.
