I don't feel sufficiently well informed to add to this entry but I read elsewhere that the explosive was thought to have detonated when the camera/transmitter in Kennedy's plane was powered up for monitoring by the remote controlling plane.

[edit] Disappeared people?

Also, should this really be in the "disappeared people"? category? Joseph Kennedy's exact fate is well-documented--he perished in the explosion--the article agrees with this. Even the (approximate) location of the explosion is known. He didn't disappear, per se.

I agree. I removed him from that category. Ydorb 21:01, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Birthday

The JFK library [1] lists his birthday as July 25, but the Joseph P Kennedy Foundation lists it as July 28 [2]. Ydorb 20:41, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

I pointed this out to the JFK Library. An archivist replied via e-mail stating that the birth record they had listed his birth date as July 25. The Joseph P Kennedy Foundation web site has now been corrected. A number of web sites still have his birthday listed incorrectly as July 28. Ydorb 21:13, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
