On July 18, 1969, Senator Ted Kennedy was driving around Chappaquiddick Island with a campaign aide when he accidentally drove his car off a bridge, resulting in the death of 28-year-old Mary Jo Kopechne. It was a tragedy that quickly morphed into a scandal when a team of spin doctors went to work to protect the Kennedy brand, at the expense of the truth.
