This is really a fuckin shame.

--------------------------------------------------
MARSH HARBOUR, Bahamas — R&B singer and actress Aaliyah died after a small plane that was to carry her and eight others back to the United States crashed after takeoff in the Bahamas, authorities said. Eight were killed in Saturday's crash, and one critically injured man was flown to Florida for treatment, officials said.

"We find it devastating and most unfortunate that after having this world-famous star Aaliyah and her crew select the Bahamas as their choice location for her latest video, the project has climaxed on such a tragic note," said Minister of Tourism Tommy Turnquest, who happened to be visiting Abaco Island, where the plane went down.
Aaliyah, 22, was to begin shooting the video for "Rock The Boat" this month in Miami, according to her Web site. It was not clear whether she filmed that video while in the Bahamas.

Aaliyah's song "Try Again" earned her a Grammy nomination for best female R&B vocalist. She made her feature acting debut in the film "Romeo Must Die." She also had signed on to appear in two sequels to the high-tech thriller "The Matrix."

"She was like one of my daughters, she was one of the sweetest girls in the world," said Quincy Jones, 68, the Grammy-winning producer, arranger and composer. "She vacationed with me and my family together in Fiji. I loved her and respected her and I am absolutely devastated."

The private plane was leaving the Marsh Harbour airport on a trip to Opa-locka, Fla. when it went down Saturday evening, said police spokesman Marvin Dames. Marsh Harbour is located about 100 miles north of Nassau.

After the crash, the mangled twin-engine plane rested about 75 yards from the end of the runway in a marshy area. Workers carried away badly burned bodies and laid them nearby. Pieces of the plane were strewn about the crash site.

Abaco Island Chief Councilor Silbert Mills said those killed included two women and six men. He said he happened to be at the airport and saw the plane taxi out. The next thing he knew, the plane was on the ground. He said he helped rescue the injured.

"I pulled one from the aircraft, and he was screaming," Mills said. "He said he was in a lot of pain."

The cause of the crash was unclear. Kathleen Bergen, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration in Atlanta, said the plane was a Cessna 402 owned by Skystream, a company based in Pembroke Pines, Florida. She said the plane crashed at the end of the airport's runway at 6:50 p.m.

this is really shitty news. I just watched Romeo Must Die tonight too (never saw it before) and thought she was pretty good, beautiful, etc. What a goddamn shame.

WHen the fuck are musicians going to learn, do not take small fucking planes! We have lost so many great musicians that way. Now granted, I was not a fan of hers, but she did have a really great voice, and I'm sure she has tons of fans who will miss her greatly. Maybe on day musicians will learn...

Seriously, CG has a great point

Let's make a list...

Bob Denver
Buddy Holly
Big Bopper
Richie Vallenz

Who else?

An it's not just musicians-- other famous people go down in flames in those things all the time. Is it because the number of famous people to small planes is so great that the ratio of famous people versus non famous people dying in an Ultralite increases?

If famouse people = F
and non famous people = N
And the planes are =U
... Hmmmm... That explains it....

man this really fucking sucks. I'm a huge R&B fan and I didn't follow her carrer as much as I do with other artists but this was just shocking to me. I was listening to some of her music on Hot97 at my job last night. I thought they were playing "old school" music but I then change the station to 1010 wins to find out if the baby bombers won. When I heard on the radio that "R&B singer Aaliyah is dead" I was fucking stunned. I couldn't move for a second.

I can't believe she's dead at 22! I've seen her videos and she could dance her ass off more than britney or christina. Her voice always was strong for her age. And it looked like her acting carrer was about to take off with Romeo Must Die, the upcoming queen of the dammed and yes! The Matrix 2.

Once again, this really fucking sucks!!!

I have one question. Why didn't her label Virgin Records get her on a commerical flight instead of those fucking cessnas. I know if when I become famous I'll stick to Southwest airlines. ;)

Anyway if you haven't listened to this wonderful artist yet. I suggest you buy her latest album or at least download a song or two of hers. I know I am.

If these were the days of yore, the first call in to the show on Tuesday would end with..."Syndication when Aaliyah cuts her next album."

Or is this gonna be another Tupac deal where she releases 24 new albums?

What, I thought we were just having fun???
