The term gained widespread recognition after Senator Ted Kennedy referenced it himself following the 1969 Chappaquiddick incident, when he wondered aloud &ldquo;whether some awful curse did actually hang over all the Kennedys.&rdquo;</p> <p>The most devastating manifestations of this alleged curse have been political assassinations and aviation accidents. The family has lost multiple members to plane crashes, while two Kennedy brothers who achieved the highest levels of American politics were both killed by assassins.</p>
