In August 2001, Aaliyah took time off from her busy album promotional tour to fly to the Bahamas to film a video for the song "Rock the Boat". The video, filmed on Abaco Island, was directed by HYpe Williams, a major music video director known for his style and wit. On August 25, 2001, after filming the video, Aaliyah and about 9-11 of her entourage took off from Marsh Harbour airport at 6:50pm EDT in a small Cessna 404 en route to Opa-Locka, Florida. A few minutes after take-off, the plane crashed about 200 feet from the runaway killing Aaliyah and many others instantly. Four passnegers were pulled alive from the wreckage, and one later died at a hospital in Nassau. Aaliyah was only 22 years old. Aaliyah's short-lived, but brillant career was a true success story for a young African-American woman who went against all odds to be herself in an industry where originality is scarce. Truly missed by her family, friends, and fans, her music and film contributions will live forever.
Aaliyah Dana Haughton (January 16, 1979 - August 25, 2001), better known as Aaliyah (pronounced /əˈliËÉ™/), was an American R&B and pop singer and actress. Introduced to audiences by R&B-pop singer R. Kelly, Aaliyah became famous during the mid-1990s with several hit records from the songwriting/production team of Missy Elliott and Timbaland.
She found success with her debut album Age Ain't Nothing but a Number, while introducing a "street but sweet" look which would become her trademark throughout her career. Followed by two more albums, One in a Million and the self-titled Aaliyah, she has sold a total of 32 million albums worldwide, the success has also earn her five Grammys nominations.
On August 25, 2001, at 6:50 pm (EST), just after finishing filming of the music video to "Rock the Boat", Aaliyah and various members of her record company boarded a twin engine Cessna 402B (N8097W) at Marsh Harbour, Abaco Island, Bahamas to travel to Opa-locka Airport near Miami, Florida. The crew had a flight scheduled the next day, but since the video wrapped early, Aaliyah and her entourage were eager to return to the US.
The plane that she was going to be riding in was equipped with all of their equipment from the video which the crew didn't want to leave behind in the Bahamas. So they tried to fit all of it in the plane. The pilot that was flying their plane wasn't even licensed to drive an aircraft and had Cocaine and alcohol in his system. The plane crashed shortly after take off at 6 p.m. killing all 8 of the passengers on board. 2 of them made it to the hospital but died shortly thereafter. Aaliyah was the youngest one on the plane to have passed on. She and 6 others died INSTANTLY.
