What happened the night JFK Jr and Carolyn Bessette Kennedy died
In an upcoming investigative series “How It Really Happened: JFK Jr's Tragic Final Flight,” Carole Radziwill opens up about the plane crash that killed her best friend Carolyn Bessette Kennedy and her cousin-in-law John F Kennedy Jr.
In the two-hour TV special, Carole will detail her final phone call with Carolyn. Carole not only spoke to the couple just before they died but she was supposed to meet the pair when they landed.
"Carolyn called me from the plane right before they were taking off," Carole says in a teaser clip. "And I think it was probably a little bit after eight o' clock. I don't remember anything really important from that conversation. I didn't certainly think it would be the last time I would speak to my friend. I remember at the end she said, you know, 'I love you.' And for some reason, I didn't say I love you back. And that always stuck with me. And then she said 'I'll call you when we land.' And then that was the last I ever heard from her."
Carol will also reveal how she reacted when she found out her friends had not made it to Martha's Vineyard.
"I spent 15 years as a journalist and producer at ABC News, and I thought, 'OK, I need to figure out this story and solve it somehow. I need to figure out where they are, because they're somewhere,'" she says.
“JFK Jr's Tragic Final Flight" will premiere on HLN at 9 pm ET on March 10. No word yet on when it will air here.
