Aaliyah was killed in a plane crash on August 25th 2001. The private charter plane she was flying in lost power and took a nose dive killing everyone on board as is crashed into a nearby marsh.
There was a terrorist attack. Commercial airliners were hijacked, and used to crash into the World Trade Center. Two attacks took down both towers of the center. A third plane was hijacked with plans of crashing into the Pentagon, but a few passengers fought back against the terrorists. They managed to crash the plane in an area that only took the lives of those on board. There were 3,000 deaths and 6,000 injuries due to the attacks.
The day before an airshow, her mechanic William Wills was flying an airplane. Bessie was going over the plane and had no seatbelt on. A wrench got into the gearbox and jammed it, causing the plane to taildive and crash. Bessie fell 1500 feet and died. :(
