DEZE TAAK BESTAAT UIT 1 TEKST EN 35 VRAGEN. 1 Aaliyah Haughton was buried Friday next to her grandmother 2 in White Plains, N.Y., but the public discussion connected with 3 her death is far from over. Newsweek has learned that the 22-year- 4 old double-platinum-selling R&B singer was hesitant to board the 5 tiny twin-engine Cessna 402B that was supposed to take her from 6 the Bahamas to Miami last week. Sources close to the singer say 7 she was fearful of small planes and had been expecting a larger 8 aircraft. “She was very upset at that plane the moment she saw it,” 9 said a friend who was with Aaliyah at the airport. Instinct, which 10 produced the video the singer was shooting in the Bahamas, 11 reportedly offered to charter a private jet instead, which would not 12 have arrived for several hours. But Aaliyah just wanted to get home. It was to be her last 13 weekend off before resuming a tough schedule that included the MTV awards, promotion of her 14 album and continued physical training for her roles in “Matrix 2” and “3.” 15 Whereas the pilot, Luis Morales III, was unauthorized to fly the Cessna, a report issued by 16 U.S. investigators said that the plane was 700 pounds overloaded. Newsweek has learned that 17 several members of Aaliyah’s make-up and styling crew stayed behind to wait for a larger plane. 18 After passengers boarded the plane, arguments among the ground crew about the weight 19 limitations got heated, according to Sarah Jacobs, a production assistant at the scene. In addition 20 to the luggage, production equipment weighed down the aircraft. A good deal of what had been 21 f1own to the island on two cargo planes several days earlier was packed into the Cessna, 22 according to a production-crew source. The equipment was supposed to have been divided 23 between two planes on the way back, according to the same source. The report said the 24 passengers’ weight, including Aaliyah’s 300-pound bodyguard, overloaded the plane. 25 Following the tragedy, accusations are building against the pilot, Skystream Inc., which 26 owned the plane, and the operator, Blackhawk International Airways. An attorney for Blackhawk 27 issued a statement that said it was cooperating with authorities. But the search for who is to 28 blame is not likely to end there. “Everyone and anyone is blamed here. Somebody dropped the 29 ball in this particular situation and somebody will have to pay for it. It’s as simple as that,” says 30 Darrel Jones, a legal consultant for several large record companies. Among those who could get 31 caught in the tragedy's legal aftermath are Aaliyah’s label, Virgin Records, and Instinct, which 32 is owned by famed hip-hop video director Hype Williams. Williams picked the Bahamas for the 33 video, though Aaliyah would have preferred Miami, according to several on the shoot. If this 34 shoot followed practice, according to industry sources, then Instinct would have been responsible 35 for arranging travel and lodging. Williams and company returned to the mainland on a chartered 36 yacht. “This is a loss for the world,” said Williams, expressing regret for everyone lost on the 37 plane. Representatives of Virgin Records and Hype Williams or Instinct could not be reached for 38 comment.
