The circumstances around her death are weird. Apparently record label reps tried to convince the flight handlers to NOT weigh the cargo planes that were headed to the Bahamas and gave an extreme underestimation of how much the cargo weighed. The flight handlers had to fight back and COMMAND to weigh the cargo for safety reasons and found out that it weighed way more than than what reps said. Apparently it was Luis Morales FIRST day on the job. A higher rank employee of Blackhawk committed suicide in September. People commit suicide for multiple reasons but that timing seems extremely coincidental. Maybe it was guilt from the tragedy.
She told at least Dame, Rashad, and Derek that she wasn't comfortable with the 15 seat plane going to the Bahamas. She probably told some of the other victims too who aren't here to tell it. What's factual is that they were in a rush. They brought the luggage TO the set that morning. You can see in her final pictures that she's still in her video outfit on the boat on the way to the airport. They pre-planned to not go back to the resort to collect their stuff. They just wanted to go the airport after shooting. They were ready to go. Then the plane was 2 hours late. It was scheduled for 4 and didn't come to 6. That delay and annoyance could've amplified the rush even more.
It's possible that they were warned about too much luggage but didn't think it could be deadly. Maybe Morales caved because this was a celebrity. It was going to be such a short 30 min flight that they all thought they could just get it over with. It's possible that Aaliyah didn't say shit at all. Maybe it was Gina and Doug the record label reps that demanded they had to go. Maybe the other pilot who overheard the arguing is lying through his teeth or is telling the God honest truth. In my opinion I don't know what he would get out of lying. It was Morales first day so he likely didn't even know him and have reason to defend him. He probably felt bad for all involved but just spoke what he saw: an argument. And common sense is that rushing often coincides with bending rules. It's a sad mystery that should've never happened.
