My best buddy who feel asleep at the wheel 2km from his destination.
Could've been there with him to keep him awake 1 more minute. Or drive. Or maybe I'd have died with them.
I've stopped asking myself "what if", I'll never know, but I miss you buddy.

Kelvin Kiptum. He was one of the greatest prospects in really advancing marathon world records. It might take another few generations until someone with the same kind of potential enters the scene.
Have you watched the Stephen King movie about that?
Or better yet, read the book that the "movie" (it's a miniseries) was based on? Both are called 11/22/63, but the book is much better.
Second this recommendation, the book is fantastic. I didn't finish the TV miniseries as they changed too much for my taste.
Mine and my family's. I don't know how to cope with and accept the finality of life. Hope ghosts are allowed here.
Kurt Cobain
I bet he had a lot of people already trying to save him.
No "famous" person. Two families that are friends of mine. Both have lost a child at ages 8 / 10 from accidents, and they could never really get over it and it has changed their lives so much.
By that standard... All the Palestinians, Cubans, Peruvian, Lebanese, Libyans, Vietnamese, Iranians, Koreans, Africans , Eastern Europeans, Asians etc etc etc who really just wanted to build a better society for themselves and their descendants, probably even the world that the empire couldn't allow to live and do that.
I know it's not really that important in the scheme of things but probably Chris Cornell which would hopefully also save Chester Bennington. Quite selfish of me but that's what first came to my mind.
I would travel back in time and prevent the deaths of all the other sperms in the load that became Justice John Roberts Jr. If only one of those other sperms got into that egg.
This court Jester that thinks that 12 years after civil rights and voting rights were extended to black people, that there was no racism to deal with anymore and has been trying to overturn them until he succeeded this time.
Probably this guy. Hopefully prevent a lot of pointless bloodshed
That would do nothing, he was just the insignificant excuse.
Yeah. I mean, there were a lot of things boiling up in WW1 and WW2 would not have been prevented. This assassination was indeed the trigger.

I'd show him a newspaper clip of the day of his assassination. I'd probably be looked at a little crazily and suspected of maybe being involved
In that time you would not simply be "looked at".
100% You would have been accused of being involved and then sentenced for life at least.
Terry Fox. One of humanity's gems.
Corey Comperatore. It'd be quite easy, just tell Thomas Crooks "aim a few more inches to the right."
Is JFK not in the conversation?
lol, anyone who thinks Kennedy would have actually changed anything is delusional. neolibs are and always have been a disease

I'm reading Laura Franko's BROADWAY REVIVAL again. A Broadway actor and composer uses his brother's participation in THE SLINGSHOT, a time machine for historians, to go from 2077 to 1934 and prevent George Gershin from dying of a brain tumor. He brings 2077 drugs to do it.

I don't have a laudable goals, but if I could, I'd pump Jim Hensen full futuristic drugs so he didn't die. The world can always use more rainbows.
My grandma’s, or my gramps on my other side.
Both to technically elective surgery gone wrong, both in 2020. So it would have been preventable, unlike the heart issue that took my cousin just the year before, or the cancer I lost my nonna to.
Pretty rough couple years those were. 😞
