Kennedy killed Markup when he walked away and let her drown when he could have saved her. It’s called murder.
“I think Mary Jo told him she was pregnant with his baby and he murdered her.”
This is possible. We saw the movie today. Supposedly, he escaped from the car, but when people tried to get into the car to rescue Mary Jo (already dead), every door was locked and every window was shut. How did HE get out? Seems possible he suffocated her, locked the doors so she couldn’t escape, and pushed the car into the water.
Were automatic door locks available on cars in ‘69? If his had the old pull-up locks, then it seems she would’ve been able to pull one up, open the door, and escape. Of course, a corpse couldn’t have done that.
Left the scene of an accident, called a lot of people the next morning before he called the police.
Looking to get a cleaner.
Teddy is guilty.
Nice catch on the jokes, blows their theory out of the water.
So. Ted Kennedy assassinated America.
He deserves to be dug up and hung.
He didn’t need anyone’s help in that department. He did a fine job of that on his own.
Holy crap Batman!!! Teddy must have been even dirtier than we realize - else why would they defend his “honor” even after he’s a long time in the grave?
But were the previews of the coming attractions any good??
Absolutely dreadful. I wouldn't see any of them. We did see Chappaquiddick Sat. night and it was a good movie. They had moved it to a different screen. I commented to the ticket taker that we had lost (true story) our 2nd set of free passes from the fiasco of the previous night, and he gave us 2 more. We have 60 days to use them, but nothing is coming up in the near future that I would waste my time, or my soul, on.
It is very hard to open a door under water. The pressure of the water is too resistant. That's what under-water aerobics is all about! Even above water the doors of those vintage Oldsmobiles were heavy, heavy. I used to drive one, hauling 4 little kids to and from school, camp, scouts, etc. I couldn't believe the difference when I traded the Olds for a Ford station wagon. Easy peasy, by comparison.
“It is very hard to open a door under water.”
I found the text recap of an old “Mythbusters” episode.
“...the water pressure exerted against a sinking auto makes it extremely difficult to open a door and swim to safety.”
“...the water pressure differential between the inside and outside of the cabin was simply too great for Adam to pry open the driver’s side door.”
(How did Teddy get out?)
“But once the sinking sedan had filled to the brim, the pressure difference stabilized, allowing the door latch to release.”

More mystery.
Did Teddy’s car ever “fill to the brim”? I thought there was that air pocket. That air bubble wasn’t replaced by water, but by CO2.
I don’t know. There was an air poocket — large at first. As water seeped in and filled the car (for about 4 hours?), the air pocket at the top became smaller and smaller. This is how the movie portrayed it. I expect that the “air” in the small pocket was C02.
Two medical examiner / coroner types at the accident scene made conflicting statements. One waid drowning. The other said suffocation or asphyxiation.
