10 Worst Rock Star Plane Crashes
Aaliyah
Having just finished shooting a video for her single, “Rock the Boat” in the Bahamas, rising R&B princess Aaliyah hired a private plane to ferry her and her crew back to Florida in 2001. Before takeoff, baggage handlers and the plane’s pilot complained that Aaliyah’s entourage had too much luggage, but the passengers apparently refused to leave anything behind. The plane was therefore well beyond its weight capacity when it crashed shortly after liftoff, killing Aaliyah and five other passengers instantly and leaving three others with injuries they would also later succumb to. Autopsy reports revealed that the pilot, who’d recently been arrested for cocaine possession, had both alcohol and cocaine in his system at the time of the accident. He’d also been fired by another aviation company a mere four hours before the fatal flight after he’d failed to turn up for work two days in a row.
