SINGER Aaliyah was at the top of her career when her life was cut tragically shot.<\/p>\n
The 22-year-old pop star died after the plane she was travelling in crashed.<\/p>\n
On August 25, 2001, a Cessna 402 twin-engine light aircraft crashed shortly after takeoff from Marsh Harbour Airport on the Abaco Islands of the Bahamas.<\/p>\n
Aaliyah and her entourage were onboard the vessel after they they had just completed filming of a music video and had chartered the flight to return to Florida.<\/p>\n
The following investigation determined that the aircraft had attempted to take off while heavily overloaded – the eight passengers exceeded its certified maximum of seven.<\/p>\n
It also emerged that the pilot did not have the required qualifications to fly the aircraft type involved and had falsified relevant documents to obtain his pilot license.<\/p>\n
