Aaliyah Killed in Plane Crash

An Article by the

Another sad day in music & movie history is upon us, as 22 year old singer Aaliyah died in a plane on her way to shoot the video for her next single off her recently released self-titled album. She was then to head back to the set of the upcoming Matrix films.

In a article from the Detroit news: R&B singer and actress Aaliyah died when 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.

For once in my life, I am honestly speechless. I met Aaliyah once in a very brief encounter in Detroit, Michigan. She was a very sweet person, and its a really sad situation that something so tragic could happen to someone so kind in the growing time of her career. Her music and her movie careers were soaring to new heights. Aaliyah Haughton is definately a person that is going to send a hard jolt to the music community. We here at Gyeah.com would like to send our deepest condolonces to the family, friends and fans of Aaliyah. She was truly One in A Million.

R.I.P.
Aaliyah Dana Haughton
1979 - 2001
