If my pilot says there is too much weight to safely fly, I'm getting off unless there is a way to remedy the situation. I can't imagine insisting "Yeah, never mind the physics, let's just take off and see what happens"
@@andresd6193 In this situation likely needed 4 people to get off. 2x300 +bags = maybe 750? Still 300ish over weight. Putting the two heaviest in the back doomed them to failure.
As a Private Pilot myself, I can tell you ALL responsibility of the flight belongs to the Pilot! Louis seemed to have a history of making poor or bad decisions. He should have Never been hired for ANY Commercial Pilot position! Just say: "NO!" to the individuals whining and crying about getting to their destination! The FAA should also hold some responsibility, in my opinion. How did Louis EVER get a job as a Commercial Pilot?!? Beats the hell out of me! Maybe (surely) the company that hired him also ought to be held accountable. They didn't perform a background check? You kidding me?!?
Kind reminder that Harrison Ford still had a valid pilot license when he almost killed himself and other people flying at an age where it clearly shouldnt, just to mention a case, seems to me that the aviation industry has failed to regulate itself

As a lawyer I had to back up my Uber driver client who refused to put too many people in a vehicle. The passengers grew abusive and had him suspended for weeks for holding his ground. After I wrote a letter to multiple heads of departments at Uber pointing out the safety risks of unbelted passengers Uber reinstated his driving privileges.
I had this happen to me while driving for Lyft and Uber. Too many people wanted to get in my van. I said no. So, under the guise of putting some bags in the back storage area, they snuck in and laid down. I didn't discover it until the drop. Stopped driving because too much abuse and danger.
I flew a Cessna when I was young and could afford it. Once a friend paid me to fly him and two friends from upstate New York into Teterboro. When they showed up the had too much baggage AND wanted to bring a small motorcycle. I told them there was no way that this plane could fly so grossly over weight. These non pilots told me there were always safety built into the formula, and this plane could handle it. I said no. The plane was a flying club rental and in great shape after an hour one of the passengers got scared and decided to stay,and take the bike home.I arranged the baggage and told people where to sit, which also pissed them off.i had weighed each bag and estimated the passengers individual weight,and found we were within 200 lbs of max weight.the flight was a nightmare: there were head winds and we burned through fuel at an incredible rate. Though the plane should have made it with the fuel on board, we had to stop at an AF bade in Rome NY. Now the passengers realized that we were pushing the envelope even being under weight. I was worried that they would buy a bunch of items in the three days we spent there, but we actually left 100 lbs lighter, and we had a tail wind going back. I am sure if I would have listened to them we would have never made it. As it was. I was almost kicked out of the club because we were so heavy both ways. I was amazed that people who knew nothing about flying would argue with a trained pilot,and risk their lives over what they just believed.
Truth is so many people in REAL life lose their lives or harm others,through such arrogance. We are programmed about how much safer airplane travel is. It's NOT. It has to be meticulously planned, organized and executed. One wrong miscalculated step and your goose is cooked.
The amount of ignorance by non-pilots is sometimes incredible. After obtaining my commercial pilot licence in Canada (single engine, land), people just assumed I could also legally fly a helicopter. LOL. I feel sorry for the pilots who fly chartered planes full of entitled people like rich pro sports teams or other rich people. They've got all of this knowledge and are just treated like servants, while everyone on board acts like morons. Sometimes they have to take a group somewhere, wait for a couple of days, then take them back.
@@alukuhito it's a complex and complicated thing to fly aircraft with many different training requirements for the myriad types . I once boarded the wrong sightseeing flight in Alaska.

BIG respect to all pilots and crew. The other "teaching moment was the tragic story of JFK Jr. and family killed in that plane crash.

Far too many red flags and I'm not just talking about the plane weighting too heavy. Her reluctance to fly Why was the passengers insistence on leaving thst day as the video rapped a day early.

I remember when this happened, but I never knew the full scope of the tragedy. This is pure negligence, arrogance, and the Dunning-Kruger effect. I think Dr. Grande was right: The pilot was afraid of losing his license, so he made the worst choice possible. He should never have been allowed to fly in the first place.
I don't believe the Dunning-Kruger effect is related to this case. It is defined as the tendency of people with low ability in a specific area to give overly positive assessments of this ability. The pilot was a simple fraudster who conned his way into becoming qualified for a job he was unqualified to perform. It's not that he was unaware of his incompetence but out of fear of being discovered, chose to ignore basic safety.
@@Picsio64 The Dunning-Kruger effect is a cognitive bias. The pilot overestimated his ability to fly because he assumed he could perform his duties with poor training and forged documentation, and he thought that he could do drugs with no negative outcome. He sounded like a cocky know-it-all who didn't know squat. This guy was probably in a state of ignorant bliss, believing that he could be a pilot while ignoring the complexity of flying airplanes. Fraudsters and con artists are smart. This guy was a fool stuck in the stage of unconscious incompetence. His confidence far exceeded his piloting abilities, and as a result, he killed 8 people. This is a textbook case of the Dunning-Kruger effect.
It is. Sadly, kids get exploited constantly in Hollywood, mostly by “PDF-files” like R. Kelly, and especially those who supervise, manage, or direct child or teen performers, like a Dan Schneider.
This entire disaster was 100% gross pilot incompetence, including the company that brought him in at the last moment to have Aaliyah as their customer. I've spent many hours in small aircraft . . . ALWAYS, full pre-flight checklist, weight and balance verification, and of course, pilot competency is at the top of the list. If it's an inexperienced pilot, always have a more senior co-pilot, and of course, never ever any sort of intoxication. Alcohol effects are amplified at upper elevations, the 402 is a non-pressurized aircraft (that makes a huge difference). I don't care what sort of complaining was going on, this plane should have never left the ground in those circumstances. RIP Aaliyah
Not 100%. It's also the FAA's fault for allowing him to get licensed. There are plenty of instances of Americans getting licenses who simply shouldn't have them.
I flew in a small plane owned by the company some 25 years ago. It was a cheap thing..I didn't look forward to it. My ears would pop so bad and my sinuses would act up so badly. But the pilot flew choppers in Vietnam and even landed the same plane on one wheel without any damage after the other wheel fell off. He was very experienced. He let me fly for 5 mins up in the air. Of course there was nothing to do. It was fun. I remember I asked him when was the most dangerous time in a flight and he told me at take off. I had always assumed landing but he confirmed it was take off as the plane was at it's highest speed and everything had to work just right, for lift off. He said a hundred things can go wrong. He was right!
Yes but the pilot is ultimately responsible. Maybe the passenger thought that if she complained, the pilot could have removed some cargo, baggage or people (apart from herself, of course).
@@mikyl-fo8rh I remember this. They dogged that pilot. Then he offered another trip to go back and get remaining luggage. They said NO! sorry to say it out loud, but, they didn't believe fat meat was greasy. 😢
@@cramone92 I'll weight, I mean wait for the next flight please. lol The pilot knew he shouldn't have left the ground but still bent under the pressure to do it. Hard to believe there was even an argument about the issue. Exceeding cargo weight can sink a ship as easily as it can bog down a plane. Captain Smith on board RMS Titanic dismissed several ice berg warnings, knowing there weren't enough life boat to save everyone. Bruce Ismay of White Star Line had a deadline too and wanted to set a record getting to New York. Smith also bent under the pressure of someone else giving him orders.
Plus, they're sitting in the BACK. Shouldn't they have been seated over the wings? I can just visualize that tail-heavy plane struggling to get right...
@@cramone92 Sorry, but physics doesn't care. Weight is weight and that was almost 2/3rds of the 941 lb overage right there. And it matters a lot where passengers sit on a small plane, especially if they are that heavy. Remember, 4.4" aft of the max aft. Translation: Back heavy, off-center. They were nearly 2/3rds of the overage all in back. "Even obese people gotta" respect physics, if they want to survive to "get places, dude". Passengers argued with the pilot when he said it was too heavy. All a terrible idea.
Luis was a RISK taker. I worked for the Abacos for years and flew in Cessna 402s hundreds of times. Pilots are a certain breed - Dr. Grande is correct... this guy would not have been a pilot long in any case. Its too bad the passengers were too trusting of small plane flights. Overweight and crosswinds is deadly.
Her and left eye Lisa, the two ladies that I ADORED around my age passed…. This saddened me and took my youthful invincible thoughts away moving forward…..I still miss them in my mid 40s now 😢
Me too. And I never understood what happened to her. I remember watching Queen Of the Damned when it first came out and I spent the whole time asking people what even happened to her. Maybe I just wasn't paying attention, but it seemed like no news companies were even really covering it at the time. If it happened to today it would get 24/7 coverage for months.
@@dishonoredundeadAaliyahs death and funeral received a lot of domestic coverage during that time, especially on the East Coast. Unfortunately 9/11 happened just 11 days after her funeral and that’s what ended up dominating the news cycle for several months afterwards.
Love the dry humor Dr. Grande! Big Bopper, Buddy Holly, John Denver, Richie Valens, etc.. Musicians gotta stay off those old little planes and as humans we must resist to urge to “gather” or collect material items beyond what we need!
Tragedy all the way around. And it's not the biggest issue, but a thirteen year old baggage handler? My head is spinning from the thought of that on top of everything else that's sickening about this whole s××tshow. So sad.
Ok maybe travel more or read or something because yeah child labor is a tragedy of course, but it's extremely common all around the world, especially in non first world countries, which again, is basically everywhere.
I recall the incident, and it was rapidly overshadowed by 9/11 which happened just a few weeks later. Pilot error and I'm sure pressure from entitled entourage played a role. I also like how he speculated that because the pilot was compromised, he was less likely to make any waves about the weight imbalance.. astute judgement. "The foundation of disaster was set" good call Dr. Grande..
@@thebigpicture2032 stop playing stupid. Regardless, of what a child is saying. An adult needs to be within the boundaries of the law and within reason.
@@Emsie76so he somehow got amnesia about age of the young girl he knew and had worked with for 3 years? Don't make me laugh. It was because he was a celebrity at his peak and nobody wanted to rock the money making boat.
He was hoping for the best with making up the logbooks data and when nothing happened and was successful he used the same strategies again. 😢 what an arrogant fool.
He did have a choice. He could have walked away. It would be equal to same people arguing with a bus driver that they don’t care that the brakes don’t work on the bus just because they insist on getting from point A to point B NOW. If you were the bus driver, would you still drive that bus??? The pilot was the one with rules and authority.
I remember the day she died. It was a Saturday or the weekend and her death scrolled across the bottom of CNN headline news and channel 26. 9/11 happened soon there after.
You're right. I remember it being on Saturday, and it flashed across the TV screen. My mouth dropped wide open, and my heart was saddened by her death. She just seemed to be a very cool person despite her scandal with R.Kelly. Her last album is really good. She was so beautiful. Her father never got over her death. Just her brother and mom are still alive. Her Dad is no longer alive. Rest in peace, baby girl.
Yes, it was a crazy time. Never forget it. I miss Aaliyah. She is the main reason I withdrew from the music industry. The word was always on the street of what R. Kelly had done to her, I was done when I heard about it and kept hearing about it. It's wrong that so many people turned a blind eye to what had occurred.
I believe it was Saturday night. I remember seeing the headline scroll across the LA Times website. I remember driving that weekend, and all of the urban radio stations were playing Aaliyah nonstop.
Lenny Kravitz supposedly offered Aaliyah his plane, but Hype williams, the director of the music video, took the plane, and that smaller plane was sent to them instead. Idk how true it is, but i think her uncle mentioned this before. Pretty effed up either way since many ppl lost their lives. The trip to the Bahamas was extremely unnecessary. Everyone work related that was close to her except for her choreographer Fatima, passed away. Very sad
Some interesting facts: She was an amazing singer, especially with her pop version/end credits version of “Journey to the Past” from Director Don Bluth’s “Anastasia” (1997). Disaster Breakdown (another UA-cam channel) also covered this particular accident as well. The Bahamas is the same location where “Jaws 4” (1987) was filmed. Judith Barsi (1978-1988) was one of the actresses-she played as the character Thea Brody in that movie-who she and her mom (Maria [1940-1988]) flew over there for filming the scenes.
@@artmallory970I meant she was a great singer. Even though I haven’t heard her regular studio albums, she did a great performance for the song “Journey to the Past”.
It's pretty ironic that the fact they had zero Chemistry on ''Romeo must die'' made it so much more believable, because that is how I imagine a relationship between a Hot Black Dancer/Singer Girl and Awkward Asian Kung Fu Master xD
@@davruck1 Jet Li movies have sold over a billion dollars at the box office. So putting Aaliyah in the movie was foolish, it would have been a bigger hit without her. They were trying to do a Rush Hour, which got all of Jackie Chan's fans plus all of Chris Tucker's fans. But Aaliyah didn't have that many fans. Before she died, her biggest album only made it to #10 on the charts.
In the black box recording you can hear the passengers yelling out over the top of him saying *" We're not too heavy, learn to fly the plane properly you coked up imbecile "*
@@robertsteinbach7325 In the black box recording you can hear the passengers yelling out over the top of him saying " We're not too heavy, learn to fly the plane properly you coked up imbecile "
4:39 “he eventually gave in” , after arguing about the weight? Just my thought, he was offered more money to turn a blind eye and he thought he was skilled enough to fly the plane even though he knew it was against regulations.
I remember that she contributed to the Anastasia soundtrack for the song Journey to the Past. It's really sad in hindsight as, like the real Anastasia, Aaliyah died very young.
Lol fair point. Regardless I still love that movie, it's a Jet Li movie! And Aaliyah did great on it, all things considered. She was such a true queen.
You sound jealous bro why you judging the chemistry of next men. Jett Li is a legend and he was the man. No one’s asking you to fancy him but it’s okay if you do. Hater.
“The plane did cartwheels before coming to rest 300 ft away from the runway.” I’ve read quite a bit about this crash and I have never heard that detail. RIP Aaliyah and everyone else on that flight 🕊️
I really do appreciate how you bring humor to a tragic situation to relieve the stress and grief we can feel about the situation. You are a skilled writer and speaker
I was in the 7th grade when Aaliyah passed away and it still makes me just as sad today as it did back then. I loved her music so much and she would still be a major force if she was still with us.
The pilot didn’t exercise his right to follow the rules with his authority and knowledge of what was right and what was wrong. I wonder if he would have let the same people bully him into potentially driving them on a bus trip with a bus with faulty brakes just because they were impatient. I just can’t understand how he got in that overloaded plane knowing it would not go well.
That was confusing as well. It was almost like he said “fck it, you find out I am right when we crash”. I have been pretty pissed off before but never enough where I would risk my own life and the others around me. He’s in no position to do anything if he can’t show discernment and good judgement.
As a former pilot listen to what the pilot says about weight and any other safety concerns. Remember Kobe Bryant, he probably pressure pilot into taking them to their basketball game and look what happened. In this case the pilot knew they had a weight issue, but he was intimidated by the celebrity status of its passengers and look what happened here.
😢 Now we have 2 Unfortunate examples and learning experiences of what not to do…..🙏🏿 NO NEED for a third future example…..this is more than enough. Humble and listen and learn daily
"he probably pressure the pilot" How mentally unstable, unhinged, ignorant, and pompous are you to make an assumption like that when you have absolutely NO PROOF? You were not there. At all. Word of mouth and hearsay dont count either, use your brain it's there for a reason.
You still believe these stories? So why did the other educated dummies get on the plane with Kobe? There was no urgency for her to fly, and nobody would’ve rushed it. But y’all will believe it because you believe anything when it involves Black people. They can tell you the most ridiculous story and you still believe it. They tell you Black people wanted to be citizens and y’all believe it. Why would we want anything to do with people who hate us?? 🤔 I see they can tell you anything
Having been interested in aviation for over 75 years, I find these stories to be depressing, few people are learning what they need to know to be safe in this modern world. It's just by chance most survive.
That industry is absolutely disgusting and so abusive. There needs to be major change and oversight brought to it. They were doing all of things in plain sight too.
It's said that Lenny Kravitz donated his private jet for Aaliyah because of her fear of flying in small planes but her selfish video producer took it instead of letting Aaliyah have it. Not sure if this is true but this ENTIRE thing was unnecessary and sounds very suspicious to me, even considering the pilots role. I wish they would reopen the case. So many people have died under suspicious circumstances in this insanely slimy industry.
💯 This definitely coming back on the Carters. Jay felt slighted by her and bey wanted to be her. There is no queen Bey without Aaliyah dying. Period. Too many coincidences to be a coincidence.

@@loang3991 setup? With what 2 300 pound fatties? That is the weight that brought the plane down.
I wonder if anyone got sued? Lots of blame to go around. The company that hired the pilot without verifying his record??
I remember when this happened, but I never knew the full scope of the tragedy. This is pure negligence, arrogance, and the Dunning-Kruger effect. I think Dr. Grande was right: The pilot was afraid of losing his license, so he made the worst choice possible. He should never have been allowed to fly in the first place.
I don't believe the Dunning-Kruger effect is related to this case. It is defined as the tendency of people with low ability in a specific area to give overly positive assessments of this ability. The pilot was a simple fraudster who conned his way into becoming qualified for a job he was unqualified to perform. It's not that he was unaware of his incompetence but out of fear of being discovered, chose to ignore basic safety.
@@Picsio64 The Dunning-Kruger effect is a cognitive bias. The pilot overestimated his ability to fly because he assumed he could perform his duties with poor training and forged documentation, and he thought that he could do drugs with no negative outcome. He sounded like a cocky know-it-all who didn't know squat. This guy was probably in a state of ignorant bliss, believing that he could be a pilot while ignoring the complexity of flying airplanes. Fraudsters and con artists are smart. This guy was a fool stuck in the stage of unconscious incompetence. His confidence far exceeded his piloting abilities, and as a result, he killed 8 people. This is a textbook case of the Dunning-Kruger effect.
My whole life I have never known that she was married to R. Kelly illegally, or at all that is such a predatory way to become a child’s manager
You must be living under a rock lol
I've never even heard of her before today. Such a sad story.
you must be a child
Depends on if you want all the money.
It is. Sadly, kids get exploited constantly in Hollywood, mostly by “PDF-files” like R. Kelly, and especially those who supervise, manage, or direct child or teen performers, like a Dan Schneider.
This entire disaster was 100% gross pilot incompetence, including the company that brought him in at the last moment to have Aaliyah as their customer. I've spent many hours in small aircraft . . . ALWAYS, full pre-flight checklist, weight and balance verification, and of course, pilot competency is at the top of the list. If it's an inexperienced pilot, always have a more senior co-pilot, and of course, never ever any sort of intoxication. Alcohol effects are amplified at upper elevations, the 402 is a non-pressurized aircraft (that makes a huge difference). I don't care what sort of complaining was going on, this plane should have never left the ground in those circumstances. RIP Aaliyah
Not 100%. It's also the FAA's fault for allowing him to get licensed. There are plenty of instances of Americans getting licenses who simply shouldn't have them.
Umm No! Pilot was a ponzi, It was planned mer dur to take aliyah out so bee yonce eh could shine.
I flew in a small plane owned by the company some 25 years ago. It was a cheap thing..I didn't look forward to it. My ears would pop so bad and my sinuses would act up so badly.
But the pilot flew choppers in Vietnam and even landed the same plane on one wheel without any damage after the other wheel fell off. He was very experienced. He let me fly for 5 mins up in the air. Of course there was nothing to do. It was fun. I remember I asked him when was the most dangerous time in a flight and he told me at take off. I had always assumed landing but he confirmed it was take off as the plane was at it's highest speed and everything had to work just right, for lift off. He said a hundred things can go wrong. He was right!
Imagine the level of stupidity of the individuals who argued with the pilot about the weight of the aircraft.
Yes but the pilot is ultimately responsible.
Maybe the passenger thought that if she complained, the pilot could have removed some cargo, baggage or people (apart from herself, of course).
@@mikyl-fo8rhhe clearly said she was not part of that conversation. As you notice none of the story actually makes sense.
@@davruck1 passenger doesnt necessarily mean Aaliyah
They were so stupid they didn't know how stupid they were when they were arguing with the pilot.
@@mikyl-fo8rh I remember this. They dogged that pilot. Then he offered another trip to go back and get remaining luggage. They said NO! sorry to say it out loud, but, they didn't believe fat meat was greasy. 😢
Please, cover Lisa Left Eye Lopes next! She was one of the best performers of her generation. And her death was as tragic.
I think it’s eerie that she knew that she was going to die for months prior and that her death was filmed 😢
Didn’t she set her boyfriends house on fire?????
Agreed, both with the Andre Rison relationship AND with the strange car accident that took her life.
She was an obnoxious toxic feminist lunatic!
How was it tragic if it was her fault she didn’t use a seatbelt?
“Rock The Boat” is a very beautiful song and video. Thanks Dr Grande for covering one of my favourite artists ever
"Work the middle
Work the middle
Work the middle
Change positions
Now stroke it for me"
Yes it's one of the most beautiful songs about pussyfucking
It’s an amazing song….love it!
2 - 300lb passengers?…….how rude of them to even board the plane
600 lbs total. My feet hurt like hell if i carry 50 lbs of groceries 1 mile home. 600 is half the weight of some vehicles..
I get it but like, even obese people gotta get places dude....
@@cramone92 I'll weight, I mean wait for the next flight please. lol The pilot knew he shouldn't have left the ground but still bent under the pressure to do it. Hard to believe there was even an argument about the issue. Exceeding cargo weight can sink a ship as easily as it can bog down a plane.
Captain Smith on board RMS Titanic dismissed several ice berg warnings, knowing there weren't enough life boat to save everyone. Bruce Ismay of White Star Line had a deadline too and wanted to set a record getting to New York. Smith also bent under the pressure of someone else giving him orders.
Plus, they're sitting in the BACK. Shouldn't they have been seated over the wings? I can just visualize that tail-heavy plane struggling to get right...
@@cramone92 Sorry, but physics doesn't care. Weight is weight and that was almost 2/3rds of the 941 lb overage right there. And it matters a lot where passengers sit on a small plane, especially if they are that heavy. Remember, 4.4" aft of the max aft. Translation: Back heavy, off-center. They were nearly 2/3rds of the overage all in back. "Even obese people gotta" respect physics, if they want to survive to "get places, dude". Passengers argued with the pilot when he said it was too heavy. All a terrible idea.

Luis was a RISK taker.
I worked for the Abacos for years and flew in Cessna 402s hundreds of times. Pilots are a certain breed - Dr. Grande is correct... this guy would not have been a pilot long in any case. Its
too bad the passengers were too trusting of small plane flights. Overweight and crosswinds is deadly.
so its a lie there was never a argument i him warning them its to heavy and thm bulliying him into flying them ?
I'm ready to speculate without diagnosing in a situation like this!
😂👍
I named my daughter after Aaliyah. I loved her so much and she is missed😢
⭐⭐💛⭐⭐
Such a beautiful name!
I remember this incident very well, it happened on my birthday. What a tragedy, RIP to all those who passed away...
Her and left eye Lisa, the two ladies that I ADORED around my age passed…. This saddened me and took my youthful invincible thoughts away moving forward…..I still miss them in my mid 40s now 😢
When I think about her death, I think about my birthdate as well. Mine is Aug 24
'The plane is too heavy, we can't fly'
'But we really need to get back to Florida'
'Ok. I believe I can fly'
Superb! 😂
@@SkotiM Oh…wooow 😆
Think of who the passengers were. I doubt the conversation went like that.
Pilot is in control, especially in a small plane where the pilot is loadmaster. Also if a passenger does not feel right about the flight, sit it out.
Spends millions on clothes, cars, and jewelry, but nickel and dimes on the pilot and plane.
Deep......😢
Black people logic
You’re referring to her management…correct? Because Aaliyah didn’t choose the pilot or airline.
@@alterego2978 Ok. Spends millions of clothes, cars, and jewelry, but nickel and dimes on management.
Reminds me of spending a ton on bad frames and going cheap on the mattress
I clicked immediately. I always liked her
Haha, same! We all know the truth!
@@KakashisOnlyGirl1 And what exactly is the truth? Seems kind of transparent that the pilot was at fault.
Me too. And I never understood what happened to her. I remember watching Queen Of the Damned when it first came out and I spent the whole time asking people what even happened to her. Maybe I just wasn't paying attention, but it seemed like no news companies were even really covering it at the time. If it happened to today it would get 24/7 coverage for months.
It wasn't an important news story because she was never an important person.
@@dishonoredundeadAaliyahs death and funeral received a lot of domestic coverage during that time, especially on the East Coast.
Unfortunately 9/11 happened just 11 days after her funeral and that’s what ended up dominating the news cycle for several months afterwards.
I loved Aaliyah in Queen of the Damned, she nailed the Akasha ancient vampire role. Thank you for covering her story
As a 20 year flight attendant,, I’m shocked that both pilots didn’t refuse the flight. Or at least kicked off luggage .
It was a single pilot plane as it was a chartered two-prop light aircraft
@@Vonononiemust be nice having such an easy job, how did you get it?
Love the dry humor Dr. Grande! Big Bopper, Buddy Holly, John Denver, Richie Valens, etc.. Musicians gotta stay off those old little planes and as humans we must resist to urge to “gather” or collect material items beyond what we need!
Tragedy all the way around. And it's not the biggest issue, but a thirteen year old baggage handler? My head is spinning from the thought of that on top of everything else that's sickening about this whole s××tshow. So sad.
@@kevinhornbuckle Many young people learn because they are interested in things like airplanes.
Ok maybe travel more or read or something because yeah child labor is a tragedy of course, but it's extremely common all around the world, especially in non first world countries, which again, is basically everywhere.
@@Kaiverzethird world*
@@Kaiverze It makes no difference how common child slavery is worldwide. It's disgusting and needs to be criticized.
I recall the incident, and it was rapidly overshadowed by 9/11 which happened just a few weeks later. Pilot error and I'm sure pressure from entitled entourage played a role. I also like how he speculated that because the pilot was compromised, he was less likely to make any waves about the weight imbalance.. astute judgement. "The foundation of disaster was set" good call Dr. Grande..
RIP Baby Girl. She never deserved any of the awful stuff that happened to her. 🕊

Why wasn’t R Kelly prosecuted for marrying Aaliyah at 15. He should have gone straight to prison
She falsified her age as far as LE are concerned. In a court of law, he would be the one to be deceived..
Because everyone surrounding him through the industry and Hollywood ignored things like that and still allow predators to be consequence free
@@Emsie76 except it’s proven he knew how old she was
@@Emsie76so he somehow got amnesia about age of the young girl he knew and had worked with for 3 years?
Don't make me laugh.
It was because he was a celebrity at his peak and nobody wanted to rock the money making boat.
You ever herd Woody Allen marring his 11 year old step daughter back 1979 Hawaii still married now
Her funeral was so sad and her mom was just devastated. And they released these beautiful doves😢❤❤
Ultimately, the pilot chose to fly and it was a fatal choice.
He didn't have a choice
He was hoping for the best with making up the logbooks data and when nothing happened and was successful he used the same strategies again. 😢 what an arrogant fool.
@@joannajamerson35 He was not threatened with a gun, so he had a choice.
@@ronald3836 God, stfu. He was threatened by powerful people.
He did have a choice. He could have walked away. It would be equal to same people arguing with a bus driver that they don’t care that the brakes don’t work on the bus just because they insist on getting from point A to point B NOW. If you were the bus driver, would you still drive that bus??? The pilot was the one with rules and authority.
Thank you Doc G for another great video. Your soothing tones at bedtime help my anxiety ❤
I remember the day she died. It was a Saturday or the weekend and her death scrolled across the bottom of CNN headline news and channel 26. 9/11 happened soon there after.
I remember that night too. I was watching MTV and folding laundry in my room.
You're right. I remember it being on Saturday, and it flashed across the TV screen. My mouth dropped wide open, and my heart was saddened by her death. She just seemed to be a very cool person despite her scandal with R.Kelly. Her last album is really good. She was so beautiful. Her father never got over her death. Just her brother and mom are still alive. Her Dad is no longer alive. Rest in peace, baby girl.
Yes, it was a crazy time. Never forget it. I miss Aaliyah. She is the main reason I withdrew from the music industry. The word was always on the street of what R. Kelly had done to her, I was done when I heard about it and kept hearing about it. It's wrong that so many people turned a blind eye to what had occurred.
I believe it was Saturday night. I remember seeing the headline scroll across the LA Times website. I remember driving that weekend, and all of the urban radio stations were playing Aaliyah nonstop.
I was too young to remember much but I definitely remembered it was Saturday due to the fact that 9/11 was on a Tuesday which happened soon after.
Lenny Kravitz supposedly offered Aaliyah his plane, but Hype williams, the director of the music video, took the plane, and that smaller plane was sent to them instead. Idk how true it is, but i think her uncle mentioned this before. Pretty effed up either way since many ppl lost their lives. The trip to the Bahamas was extremely unnecessary. Everyone work related that was close to her except for her choreographer Fatima, passed away. Very sad
Love that you covered this!!! I remember taking the bus to her memorial in Detroit when she passed!
Some interesting facts:
She was an amazing singer, especially with her pop version/end credits version of “Journey to the Past” from Director Don Bluth’s “Anastasia” (1997).
Disaster Breakdown (another UA-cam channel) also covered this particular accident as well.
The Bahamas is the same location where “Jaws 4” (1987) was filmed. Judith Barsi (1978-1988) was one of the actresses-she played as the character Thea Brody in that movie-who she and her mom (Maria [1940-1988]) flew over there for filming the scenes.
I had no idea that Anastasia song was her!
'Amazing'? I doubt it.
Seems anyone can call themselves a 'singer' or 'musical artists' these days...
@@artmallory970I meant she was a great singer. Even though I haven’t heard her regular studio albums, she did a great performance for the song “Journey to the Past”.
It's pretty ironic that the fact they had zero Chemistry on ''Romeo must die'' made it so much more believable, because that is how I imagine a relationship between a Hot Black Dancer/Singer Girl and Awkward Asian Kung Fu Master xD
I agree....it seemed believable because of their different backgrounds/ experiences. I thought she gave a good performance in that movie.
@@andreacastillo4051Jet Li was a huge star in China, he wasn't allowed to kiss anyone in a movie.
How is he gonna blame her for a ridiculous casting decision?
@@customsongmakerso it wasn’t her fault. Putting jet li in a movie is foolish
@@davruck1 Jet Li movies have sold over a billion dollars at the box office. So putting Aaliyah in the movie was foolish, it would have been a bigger hit without her.
They were trying to do a Rush Hour, which got all of Jackie Chan's fans plus all of Chris Tucker's fans. But Aaliyah didn't have that many fans.
Before she died, her biggest album only made it to #10 on the charts.
I like your eclectic mix of subjects Dr. G.
R. Kelly should release an album this year and name it Prison Aint Nothing but a Place. 😏
Thank you for covering this. Miss this woman. She was very talented! RIP Aaliyah.
Can you analyze the Long Island Serial Killer please (just with whatever info is currently available)?
It is also the fault of the air carrier, who employed an illegal pilot with fraudulent documents.
😨💯😰
Hi Dr G! Thank you for the upload today ❤
The photo of the pilot dressed in his best tee-shirt suggests much. He looks more like a cartel hitman than a pilot.
Exactly, he was a hit man unknowingly... set up like a bowling pin
That was a mugshot
If I am the pilot of an over loaded plane I am not taking off.
I think it crashed only a minute after taking off?
But wow, before hearing by how much I had no idea it was *that* grossly overweight
I always thought, as a kid, that their marriage was a publicity stunt. It's gross that it wasn't.
Yeah, knowing what we know now, this behaviour is very on brand for R Kelly.
Pilot lasts words: " I told you guys, there was too much weight"
In the black box recording you can hear the passengers yelling out over the top of him saying *" We're not too heavy, learn to fly the plane properly you coked up imbecile "*
The crews' last words: "Nah pilot, it's all good, you can pull out of th....."
@@robertsteinbach7325 In the black box recording you can hear the passengers yelling out over the top of him saying " We're not too heavy, learn to fly the plane properly you coked up imbecile "
The two fat f's at the back of the plane's last words: Is there any more chickaaAAAH!!!
4:39 “he eventually gave in” , after arguing about the weight? Just my thought, he was offered more money to turn a blind eye and he thought he was skilled enough to fly the plane even though he knew it was against regulations.
I remember that she contributed to the Anastasia soundtrack for the song Journey to the Past.
It's really sad in hindsight as, like the real Anastasia, Aaliyah died very young.
I never knew that she was on that soundtrack! 😍
A very sharp lesson to professionals about giving way to celebrities' ego. They "just had to be" in MIami whether that plane could take them or NOT.
It wasn’t the celebrity’s ego in this case it was the entourage
2 300Ib passengers.... Why am i NOT at all surprised
One of them ,Scott Gallin, was employed as her bodyguard...
Thanks!
To be fair, I cannot name an actress who would have chemistry with Jett Li. No actress in Hollywood is that good.
But there were.
Lol fair point. Regardless I still love that movie, it's a Jet Li movie! And Aaliyah did great on it, all things considered. She was such a true queen.
His fists couldn't even make chemistry with a face in front of them
@@Kaiverzeexit wooooounds
You sound jealous bro why you judging the chemistry of next men. Jett Li is a legend and he was the man. No one’s asking you to fancy him but it’s okay if you do. Hater.
Thank you for the great content as always Dr. Grande
We miss & love you, Aaliyah ❤❤❤
“The plane did cartwheels before coming to rest 300 ft away from the runway.” I’ve read quite a bit about this crash and I have never heard that detail. RIP Aaliyah and everyone else on that flight 🕊️
RIP Aaliyah. Thanks for all those classic 90s jams. Your music lives forever.
Which is crazy. You think her prime would be 2000s to now considering how old she was.
I really do appreciate how you bring humor to a tragic situation to relieve the stress and grief we can feel about the situation. You are a skilled writer and speaker
Man! Can’t believe it’s been that long…. She was the soundtrack of my college years!
It was such a bad year we lost Anna Nicole Smith Aaliyah and we also lost Lisa Left eye lopes
Are you aware that **503,000 humans DIE EVERY DAY ON EARTH?** (SOURCE: UNICEF DATA).
>>>Five hundred three thousand humans PER DAY.
They did not die during the same year. Anna Nicole died in 2007, Left Eye died in 2002 and Aaliyah died in 2001.
Yeah, and we also lost Marilyn Monroe, Marvin Gaye and Michael Jackson! It truly was a bad year😂
My pilot training CFI always told me "If you let your passengers dictate your flight plan, it will kill you and them sooner or later"
Great video. Awesome job with the aviation information.
I was in the 7th grade when Aaliyah passed away and it still makes me just as sad today as it did back then. I loved her music so much and she would still be a major force if she was still with us.
What a monster R Kelly
He got his karma
Massive shame. She was so loved and still is to this day. Rest in Peace Aaliyah. I’m sorry for the unnecessary loss of all the lives on that flight.
I was in elementary school when this occured. Had the young people crying.

Thanks for your rightful analysis of the case, dr Grande. Have a nice day.
The pilot didn’t exercise his right to follow the rules with his authority and knowledge of what was right and what was wrong. I wonder if he would have let the same people bully him into potentially driving them on a bus trip with a bus with faulty brakes just because they were impatient. I just can’t understand how he got in that overloaded plane knowing it would not go well.
Add to the fact they weren’t even supposed I go back until the next day.
I never understood why they felt they had to rush it like they did.
That was confusing as well. It was almost like he said “fck it, you find out I am right when we crash”. I have been pretty pissed off before but never enough where I would risk my own life and the others around me. He’s in no position to do anything if he can’t show discernment and good judgement.
Thank you putting sense in this. As, you always do Dr. Grande
I love how Dr. Grande spoke about Aaliyah. Very respectful. I admired her talent. RIP.

Another interesting video. Well done Dr G! 🙂
This story always makes me sad 🙏🏾
Great video, enjoyed this one
As a former pilot listen to what the pilot says about weight and any other safety concerns. Remember Kobe Bryant, he probably pressure pilot into taking them to their basketball game and look what happened.
In this case the pilot knew they had a weight issue, but he was intimidated by the celebrity status of its passengers and look what happened here.
😢 Now we have 2 Unfortunate examples and learning experiences of what not to do…..🙏🏿 NO NEED for a third future example…..this is more than enough. Humble and listen and learn daily
"he probably pressure the pilot"
How mentally unstable, unhinged, ignorant, and pompous are you to make an assumption like that when you have absolutely NO PROOF? You were not there. At all. Word of mouth and hearsay dont count either, use your brain it's there for a reason.
I have always wondered about that too, if the pilot took a risk to keep his client happy. 🫤
I love how people come on and just blatantly lie about tragic black celeb deaths like this, it's like they can't stop. On both counts you're wrong.
You still believe these stories? So why did the other educated dummies get on the plane with Kobe? There was no urgency for her to fly, and nobody would’ve rushed it. But y’all will believe it because you believe anything when it involves Black people. They can tell you the most ridiculous story and you still believe it. They tell you Black people wanted to be citizens and y’all believe it. Why would we want anything to do with people who hate us?? 🤔 I see they can tell you anything
Rip to beautiful Aaliyah. She has inspired so many people since
Having been interested in aviation for over 75 years, I find these stories to be depressing, few people are learning what they need to know to be safe in this modern world. It's just by chance most survive.
That industry is absolutely disgusting and so abusive. There needs to be major change and oversight brought to it. They were doing all of things in plain sight too.
It’s much bigger than all of us realize. Unfortunately a lot of evil people have extensive control of various institutions.
Dr Grande, You're truly one in the million!
She is considered The Princess of R&B. I miss her so much.
Thanks, Sir. Aaliyah is missed dearly by her fans. Her rising star went dark much too soon🕊 RIP Aaliyah✨
It's said that Lenny Kravitz donated his private jet for Aaliyah because of her fear of flying in small planes but her selfish video producer took it instead of letting Aaliyah have it. Not sure if this is true but this ENTIRE thing was unnecessary and sounds very suspicious to me, even considering the pilots role. I wish they would reopen the case. So many people have died under suspicious circumstances in this insanely slimy industry.
Not sure if it's true, but heard it through the grapevine. 🕊️🤍 Baby Girl.
I do know after pdiddy goes to prison....their def going to investigate JayZ and re-open the Aaliyah case!
