Aaliyah traveled to the Bahamas in August 2001 to film the "Rock the Boat" video with director Hype Williams. On August 25, 2001, at 6:45 pm, just after filming was completed, Aaliyah and 7 friends boarded a Cessna 402 small aircraft en route to Miami, Florida. The journey would have taken approximately 1 hour travel time. Instead, the plane nosedived while taking off and crashed in a marsh on the south side of the departure end of runway 27. All nine people aboard, including Aaliyah, the pilot and the other seven passengers, were killed.
