Rainbow Valley - bringing you the stories from the decade that shook the world.

Join your host, Scott, as he continues the story of the death of a young woman and a man destined to become President of the USA.

Episode 035 - Chappaquiddick Part Two (1969)

 

9:32 am – Eastern Standard Time on Wednesday July 16th 1969 and Apollo 11 blasts off from the Kennedy Space Centre in Florida 

On board, Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins, carrying the hopes and dreams of the American public, eager to see the fulfillment of John F Kennedys promise to land a man on the moon before the end of the decade. 

72 hours later and 1300 miles away at Edgartown police station, Martha’s Vineyard, Edward, the youngest, and last surviving of the four Kennedy brothers, was putting the final touches to a carefully written statement – not a speech to some multi national corporation or an address to his fellow senators in Washington, but a 240 word police statement that would cost him the trust of the American people and also his chance of ever becoming President himself. 

Ladies and gentlemen, Rainbow Valley is proud to present the conclusion to Chappaquiddick
