Today marks 8 years since the tragic plane crash that killed Aaliyah and 8 others: pilot Luis Morales III, hair stylist Eric Forman, Anthony Dodd, security guard Scott Gallin, video producer Douglas Kratz, stylist Christopher Maldonado, and Blackground Records employees Keith Wallace and Gina Smith.

Just to let you in on how much Aaliyah inspired me, one of the characters in the Black Magnolia series was inspired by her and the next book is being titled after this song.
