Aaliyah died on August 21, 2001 when she got into a horrible plane crash.  Police say her luggage was too heavy, that the pilot was unexperienced and they found drugs and alcohol in his system. She died in the Bahamas. That's the day that the music industry lost history, the day I lost my hero and passion.  From her I learned that if you have a passion or a dream you can do it. No matter what it  is, if it's something you love, go for it.  You can do it.  She did it, you can too! SI SEPUEDE!
