What happened over the next hour or so--between the time the plane last made contact with the runway and the time it first made contact with water--is, for now, a matter of conjecture. The take-off, to all appearances, was a smooth one, suggesting that Kennedy's still shaky ankle did not hamper his ability to operate the Piper's pedals. Much of the flight may have been similarly uneventful, if the sketchy radar record is any indication...
...that evening. Stars were probably erased completely. Up and down the New England coast, other pilots began flying into the same soup. A number of them radioed the FAA for permission to land at alternative, inland airports, where visibility was better. But Kennedy, who never made radio contact throughout the trip, pressed on. Below his right wing, he may have seen the eastern tip of Long Island slipping past...

Inexpensive new machines like Cidco's Mailstation ($149 at cidco.com allow anyone who can use a phone to enjoy e-mail. And computer-top video cameras like Logitech's Quickcam ($100 at quickcam.com can turn your desktop into a virtual video telephone...

Problem is, they have stories we've already seen on Oprah, the ultimate group forum. And it's hard to feel sorry for these people, with their luxury homes and contact-filled resumes. The successes and failures portrayed here are neither heartwarming nor heartbreaking. This group should have just talked among themselves...
