On June 19, 1964, Kennedy was a passenger in a private Aero Commander 680 airplane flying in bad weather from Washington to Massachusetts. The plane crashed into an apple orchard in the western Massachusetts town of Southampton on the final approach to the Barnes Municipal Airport in Westfield.[51][52] The pilot and Edward Moss (one of Kennedy's aides) were killed.[53] Kennedy was pulled from the wreckage by fellow Senator Birch Bayh[51] and spent months in a hospital recovering from a severe back injury, a punctured lung, broken ribs and internal bleeding.

What if Ted Kennedy had been killed in that plane crash? How would the nation react to the death of the late President John F. Kennedy's brother less than a year after his death? What would the funeral look like? Would he lie in state at the Capitol and be buried at Arlington? How does RFK react knowing that he is the last Kennedy brother? does he drop out of the race for the Senate in New York? Who might be Ted Kennedy's successor in the Senate?
