Aaliyah died in a plane crash in 2001. She died because her plane had too much equipment on it, and too many people and all the weight from the people and equipment exceeded the weight capacity for the plane. Also the pilot who flew the plane lied about being a registered and trusted pilot. He wasn't even supposed to be working at the airport, and he was under the influence of cocaine and alcohol. He wasn't licensed, advised, or able to properly run an airplane. The plane with Aaliyah and 8 other members of her Blackground crew was seen lifting off of the runway and into the sky only to be seen minutes later going into a complete nosedive and bursting into flames. The plane crashed into a marshy swamp and Aaliyah and a few others died instantly. Only 2 members of her entourage were taken to the hospital only to die a few hours later due to the severity of their injuries. Aaliyah died from severe burns and a blow to the head, also in addition to severe shock. The coroner even confirmed that even if she had of lived, she wouldn't have been able to continue her career period, she would have been paralyzed, and a big chance she would have been completely bed ridden. Her injuries were way too serious for her to make it out of the wreckage alive. The man who flew the plane, Louis Morales was also killed instantly. Out of everyone on that plane, Aaliyah was the youngest one to parrish among the victims. She was only 22 years old.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
