Hi all, I just finished a video where I make the case that Kennedy was not in the car when it dove into Poucha pond on Chappaquiddick Island.

At the cottage, when he sees Joe Gargan (Ed Helms), his cousin, friend, and lawyer, the first thing he says is, “We’ve got a problem,” followed by a quick, “I’m not going to be president.” He’s already thinking about himself, and no one but himself. He is thinking, in other words, like a Kennedy. Joe and their other comrade, the Massachusetts Attorney General Paul Markham (Jim Gaffigan), both tell Ted that he needs to report the crime, and he assures them that he will. But what he knows is that reporting the crime means he’ll be tested for alcohol consumption, so he has to wait. And wait.
The film says that what happened at Chappaquiddick was even worse than we think. Kopechne’s body was found in a position that implied that she was struggling to keep her head out of the water. And what the film suggests is that once the car turned upside down, she didn’t die; she was alive and then drowned, after a period of time, as the water seeped in. This makes Edward Kennedy’s decision not to report the crime a clear-cut act of criminal negligence — but in spirit (if not legally), it renders it something closer to an act of killing.
“Chappaquiddick” is a meticulously told chronicle, no more and no less, and at times there’s a slight detachment in watching it, because it’s too tough and smart to milk the situation by turning Edward Kennedy into a “tragic figure.” In certain ways, he may well have been, and there are moments when we see the sad grandeur with which this disaster hangs on his stooped shoulders, but the movie is fundamentally the portrait of a weasel: a man who, from the moment the accident happens, takes as his premise that he will not suffer the consequences, and then does what it takes to twist reality so that it conforms to that scenario.
Yes, Kennedy got out of the car and told her to drive away as to not get caught by the policeman, Christopher Look. She drove an unfamiliar car and drove into the pond.So she drove herself into the pond?
The pond identified as a bridge.You should probably explain away the pond too.
so who was in the car?

This is especially funny because Mary Jo Kopechne drove a VW Beetle and Ted's '67 88 Olds was a much bigger car.
Mary Jo Kopechne was the drive and sole occupant. Ted had gotten out of the car before the accident. He did so to evade a possible police confrontation that never happened. The police officer chose not to chase them.so who was in the car?
