Just think what could have been said if he had survived, and the women had not. Chappaquidick all over again.

Off the top of my head? Do her survivors have a case against JFK, Jr. for wrongful death? Yes. Was Jr so negligent that his estate should be liable? (under what state's laws?). Insufficient facts to know whether he WAS negligent, that's up to a jury hearing all the facts, but certainly a case to be made. Which state's laws is a conflicts of laws question I don't know the answer to, but the plaintiff could probably choose either NJ (I think he took off from NJ, didn't he?) or Mass. I would, however, NOT sue a Kennedy in Mass if I could help it. The Coast Guard has been billing rescuees who were negligent for the expense of search. Should the USCG sue Jr's estate for the vast expense of this search? Certainly. But of course it won't. It will call this an effort in the national interest. You and I will pay for it (as we pay for all the other absurdities of our wonderful government.)
