In a new interview for HLN's investigative series "How It Really Happened: JFK Jr.'s Tragic Final Flight," Carole Radziwill opens up about the plane crash that killed both her best friend Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy and her cousin-in-law John F. Kennedy Jr.

The two-hour television show features Radziwill, who appears on the Real Housewives of New York reality series, detailing her final phone call with Carolyn. Not only was Radziwill one of the last people to speak to the couple before they died, but she also had plans to meet them when they landed.

"Carolyn called me from the plane right before they were taking off," Radziwill says in a clip. "And I think it was probably a little bit after eight o' clock. I don't remember anything really important from that conversation. I didn't certainly think it would be the last time I would speak to my friend. I remember at the end she said, you know, 'I love you.' And for some reason, I didn't say I love you back. And that always stuck with me. And then she said 'I'll call you when we land.'" And then that was the last I ever heard from her."

The clip below, which premiered on the Daily Mail, also features Radziwill retelling how she reacted when she heard her friends had not made it to Martha's Vineyard.

"I spent 15 years as a journalist and producer at ABC News, and I thought, 'OK, I need to figure out this story and solve it somehow. I need to figure out where they are, because they're somewhere,'" she says.

Watch the full clip below." JFK Jr.'s Tragic Final Flight" will premiere on HLN at 9 p.m. ET on March 10.
