It's really awful when artists die at a young age... And it's really sad that she died when she was at the peak of her career!
As I read on CNN's page, the plane crashed because they were carrying too much weight (luggage in this case)... That made one of the engines fail at lift-off!
It feels even worse when you know that somebody has died because of such a stupid thing...
Juice, show some god damn respect for the dead!!!
And viruz, you little racist whore! I hope they fuckin' ban you and fast! Hope they ban your IP too... What the fuck, isn't anyboy checking what these morons are posting..!?
Shame anyone must die so young BUT

Gloria Knowles, who works for Abaco Air Ltd. at Marsh Harbour airport, said baggage handlers reported the plane was overloaded with suitcases.
She said the handlers and the plane's pilot complained about the heavy load but the passengers insisted on taking everything with them.

Juice, show some respect man. Your comment is just sick.
This is a tragedy, two great artists have died this year (Joey Ramone, Aaliyah). And although I never really liked Aaliyah's music, and haven't seen any movies that she was in, I hope that she is in a better place. My prayers are with her family, friends, and fans.
I've never felt shocked about death before, but this is the first time (I understand u get it better when u get older) ive ever been blown away by such tragic news. Really gobsmacked and it hasnt sunk in Incredible talent, loved the music, only saw her in RMD but she was fantastic in that too. RIP

Another sick fuck (chemmail) posting here!
I would like to see you act like this if it was your mother or father who had died! Would it feel good when we would mock you and say: "Ha ha, your mom won't do nothing no more cuz she's dead!"
Enough with the moron posts now... If you don't have anything smart or respectful to say, just shut the fuck up!
It is so sad when this happens. She is a celebrity so we hear about it. It's too bad we don't mourn like this *everytime a yound lad or gal pass's accidently - let me say, though, that the carelessness of the airlines / pilot to forbid overweight in the cargo department disgusts me. This carelessness happens on a corporate level way too often - don't people care about thier jobs & take it seriously anymore? - it's sickening. Blessed be Aliyah's soul.

why??? not her, take puffy, not Aaliyah.
She made great music and was a good actress.
Sorry for my crude statement earlier.
Its a shame.

funny, stvastva, how you 'interpret' the CNN news. Back to the facts...
The handlers and the pilot complained about the overweight, still: the passengers wanted to leave with /all/ the luggage... This being a private flight, hired by 9 people, something you and me can't even think off... Do the links 'private flight' and 'lots of luggage' ring a bell? Clearly, nobody deserves to die this way, but it teaches us not everything can be bought with money, and certainly not gravity laws...
My thoughts are in the first place with the pilot, who is a much more a victim of the corporate system than 9 people who thought it was so important to take all their luggage...
to-->Viruz: no it wasn't fun at all.
And for Chronic: It's bit different when people you don't know dies than when your mother dies, bad parallel. But It really is innoing when someone says something like that if someone has died, so shame on those who mock dead people.

So so sad! My thoughts are with her as I feel for her family!
Someone I really admired too as well as enjoy as an entertainer.
She was so beautiful too... I'm SO shocked!
Here same as IE6. If you don't care then say nothing, you don't have to send react that hey I don't really care... It's better to be quiet., than go to everypost to say hey I've never heard about that, and I don't care. Say nothing if you don't hve anything important to say, and save your time and don't wirte that "I think it's important to say this" so don't react if you don't have anything to say.
I am sorry to hear of this true tragedy. May god have mercy on her poor soul, and that she is now in a place of tranqility. My heart goes out to her family, for they bear the cross

p.s. Remember Virus whoever you maybe, you too will one day lose someone you love dearly and then you will know how it feels to suffer the pain at the loss of a loved one. If you don't then you have no feelings whatsover and should give your soul to the devil, as that is all you are worth. To burn in hell for all eternity.
