Robert Kennedy came extremely close to death while campaigning for President in 1968. As he celebrated his recent primary victory in the ballroom of the Ambassador Hotel, a young Palestinian nationalist named Sirhan Sirhan pulled a gun on him. Sirhan managed to get a few shots off, but fortunately Kennedy's bodyguard shielded him from the bullets and Sirhan was tackled to the ground. Some say that RFK's decision to enter the ballroom through the main hallway may have saved his life: had he taken a detour through a tight kitchen as his advisers suggested, it's possible that Kennedy would've been separated from his bodyguard in the narrow and crowded area - making him fatally vulnerable to Sirhan's bullets. What if RFK had taken the detour through the hotel kitchen and Sirhan had assassinated him on that fateful day?
