Death of Aaliyah
On August 25, 2001, Aaliyah Dana Haughton, an American recording artist, boarded a twin-engine Cessna 402B (registration N8097W) at the Marsh Harbour Airport in Abaco Islands, The Bahamas after completing her work for the music video for her single "Rock the Boat". Accompanying her were members from Virgin Records. The light aircraft, piloted by Luis Morales III, crashed shortly after takeoff. The crash instantly killed Aaliyah and resulted in the deaths of everyone else on board. This also included Morales, the pilot, who was later found to have traces of cocaine and alcohol in his system through an autopsy.
The investigation following the crash looked into possibilities of the aircraft being overloaded and these claims were supported by accounts of the passengers arguing with Morales, who reportedly refused to take off before giving in to their demands. Three days after the crash, Aaliyah's body was returned to the United States. In addition, the funeral home that prepared her body stated in a lawsuit that it had not been paid for its services. Her funeral was held August 31, 2001 in New York. Her death came only a month after the release of her self-titled third album ''Aaliyah''. Posters for the album became makeshift memorials for grieving fans. At her funeral, she was eulogized by her brother Rashad Haughton. In the years following the crash, there were lawsuits made by multiple parties in relation to the casualties. Aaliyah was 22 years old when she died.
==Background==
Aaliyah appeared on BET's ''106 & Park'' on August 21, 2001 and announced shooting for the single "Rock the Boat" would begin the following day. The music video was directed by Hype Williams. Almost 60 people worked on the video in The Bahamas in total.〔 On August 22, she filmed underwater shots for the video in Miami, Florida.〔Farley, pp. 10-11.〕 On August 23, Aaliyah and the members of the record company flew to The Bahamas on two flights using a Fairchild Metro III, chartered through Sky Limo. She was scheduled to leave The Bahamas on August 26, but she chose to leave the day before since she had finished early. Williams recalled: "Aaliyah left midproduction, so we were still shooting when she left".
Travel arrangements for the music video's filming began a little more than a week before the crash. Atlantic Flight Group, based in Miami, Florida, arranged the travel by serving as flight broker. Atlantic Flight Group coordinated the other cargo and charter companies which owned and operated the aircraft in use.〔 According to her brother Rashad Haughton, recording of the music video was the first time during her career where she was not accompanied by a member of her immediate family. At the time of the video's filming, Rashad was in Australia and her mother had recently had eye surgery, during which Aaliyah's father took care of her.
