Aaliyah who died in a plane crash in the Bahamas last Saturday... I should have done this maybe earlier, but I would just like to commemorate this post or the thread to her and what she has did in the music industry as well as movies... She rising to stardom... why did it have to happen?
Geez... maybe bad things happen to good people... who knows? ------------------ Heya! It's me, Imoen! |

A little piece of info that reached me ears
The Pilot was an ex-confict that was in jail for selling airplain parts in order to pay his crack addiciton. This was his first flight after he got free. It is however not his fault in my eyes as he has done his time and was drugfree. Another thing was that the plain was overweight with about 1000kg It should have never given a clear for liftoff they did get it however Adn tragedy struck It's Sad her promissing live had to end in such a way Rest in Peace ------------------ OMG I have no Arms Wait I don't have a body either |

I agree that it is a tragedy that she should die that young, but what bothers me a lot about this is that 8 other people died in the crash as well, they hardly got mentioned on the news, it really bothers me that, and also, in another forum that I frequent, someone mentioned this crash, but he also didn't mention the 8 other people who died, it seems that, to some people, they didn't even exist.

It is a VERY sad tragedy for all concerned. Has anyone ever considered that musical artists need to stay away from planes? Aaliyah was the latest casualty in a long line of casualites, among them being:
Richie Valens Buddy Holly The Big Bopper Ricky Nelson Ronnie Van Zandt (Lynyrd Skynyrd) just to name a few...and I know there's more, I just can't think of them right now. Voices that are stilled, silenced forevermore. Songs left unsung, melodies that may have been, that can never be. A true tragedy. ------------------ |

It really is sad that we forget the other 8 people on the plane. I hazard a guess that they were just as productive members of socity as she was! They probably had family and friends and are missed terribly. Why just remember the famous! I don't mourn their loss anymore than anyone else! ------------------ Never try to teach a pig to sing; it wastes your time and it annoys the pig I've got to admit it's getting better, it's getting better all the time Proud member of the Lecherous Hillbillies...oh no wait the Laughing Hyenas |

Dont mean to be a prick, but is that really such a tragedy?
Its not like she's gonna get "Aaliyah Pie" anyway.. Famous people seem to block out the real casualties of a tragedy.. Honestly speaking, who's gonna remember Aaliyah in 3 years, dead or alive? So what makes her different from the other people whose lives ended in that crash? ------------------ Resident Lurker Guy [This message has been edited by Lifetime (edited 08-31-2001).] |

Oh, she'll be remembered...see her death opened the door to production companies to make another truth-based-tragically-ending movie, like with Selena, Buddy Holly and any others that have such tributes. Being a "minority". the movie is sure to be made and highly publicized and will bring recognition to the actress that portrays her, not for her ability to act but for "being" Aaliyah in the movie. Sad but true. There were other member of Lynard Skynard that died in that same crash but no one seems to remember who they are either...another sad fact, not to mention they were rowdy white southern boys who are undeserving of their own movie! Long live Randy Rhodes...another great loss via plane crash. R.I.P. Aaliyah ------------------ You know childhood is over when a puddle seems like an obstacle instead of an opportunity. Is Too!

Well said. But I dont think the tragdey is that she died so young. I personaly hated her music. But it still sad that she could have had a whole life in front of her ------------------ So if in the forest look behind you, because that where the ranger is going to be The ranger looked at the place out side of the elven town near the river, he looked near the rocks, then they showed the way to....

The others who died are known
But only with the people who known them before Ypu cannot say "They died with a celebraty so we gots to know there names too" People die everyday But if someone dies who meant something in your like be it celebraty, reletive or friend You are gonna remember that If someone else dies you take no notest That's the way our human feelings works That's the reason why we know Aaliayah died while we probably would have heard about it if she wzsn't in that plain About who would have known Aaliyah in 3 years dead or alive well She has a very promasing career not so much as a Singer but as an actor too She probably would have been famous in 3 years if she hadn't died You can see that in people Some are soon to be forgotten and some are not and i myself think Aaliyah was one of the second catagory A tragic lost not only becoz of the loss of a human live but also because the loss of chilrens symbol and hero ------------------ OMG I have no Arms Wait I don't have a body either |
