14. Ted Kennedy
After the unbelievable assassination of JFK, Ted Kennedy was also involved in a tragedy. Believe it or not, just like his two other siblings Kathleen and Joseph Jr., he was involved in a plane crash. The plane hit an area of bad weather and was engulfed in a storm, and crashed into an apple orchard in Southampton, Massachusetts. Shockingly, he survived—a rare occurrence when dealing with plane crashes. Somehow, someway Ted survived but the pilot and other passenger were not so lucky. He didn’t escape unharmed however, and he spent copious amounts of time recovering from a broken back and multiple ribs.
