The very small plane was carrying too much weight which caused the crash. At the time, it was reported that, even though most of the cargo was set to go on another plane, someone in her group freaked out and refused to leave without all the cargo, thinking it would get lost , so they took off with more than the maximum weight allowed for that kind of plane. You can also chalk it up to pilot error - as in, a more experienced pilot would have refused to take off that way.

According to news reports, the small plane her group chartered was overloaded in an attempt to cut down on the number of trips. The manager (I think) wanted all of the people and equipment transported at once - the pilot should have refused because the weight was too great for the plane. Apparently, the manager was insistent and the pilot, afraid to anger a client, gave in.

On August 25, 2001, at 6:49 pm, just after wrapping up filming of the "Rock the Boat" video, Aaliyah and various members of her record company boarded a twin engine Cessna 402B (N8097W) at Marsh Harbour, Abaco Island, Bahamas to travel to Opa-locka Airport near Miami, Florida, but the plane crashed shortly after takeoff about 200 feet from the runway. Pilot Luis Morales III and all eight passengers, including Aaliyah, were killed in the crash. According to findings from an inquest conducted by the coroner's office in the Bahamas, Aaliyah suffered from "severe burns and a blow to the head," in addition to severe shock. The coroner theorized that, even if Aaliyah survived the crash, her recovery would have been virtually impossible given the severity of her injuries.[5]
Aaliyah's eulogy was held on August 31 at Saint Ignatius Loyola Roman Catholic Church on East 84th Street in Manhattan. A horse-drawn carriage then carried her coffin to Ferncliff Cemetery in Hartsdale, New York, where she was initially interred in a crypt in the extension wing of the main mausoleum. When the Rosewood Mausoleum was completed a couple of years later, Aaliyah was moved to a private room in the new building. The inscription of her alias Baby Girl is engraved on her crypt.

The crew put too much weight on the plane so it crashed...the pilot wasn't qualified to fly a plane either so that didn't help.
Aaliyah suffered from "severe burns and a blow to the head," in addition to severe shock.
I miss her too, she was a good person and a great performer.
