Reports about the investigation so far into the crash:

quote:

Investigators are leaning toward engine failure as the cause of Saturday night's accident. The New York Post reported that the pilot of the Cessna 402 and the singer's video crew got into a heated argument before takeoff over the weight of the equipment and passengers. The pilot argued the Miami-bound plane was dangerously overloaded, but eventually gave in and took off, fellow pilot Lewis Key told the tabloid. But Key added that the pilot also had trouble getting one of his engines started — another suggestion that engine failure may have led to the tragedy. The plane crashed in perfect weather shortly after takeoff in the Bahamas, where the 22-year-old Aaliyah had been shooting a music video. Aaliyah, the pilot, and all seven other people on board were killed. Police: Engine 'Apparently Failed' Bahamian investigators have searched through the wreckage for clues to the crash. Police Superintendent Basil Rahming told The Associated Press that one of the Cessna's engines "apparently failed." The Cessna 402 is designed to handle a single-engine takeoff, according to ABCNEWS aviation expert John Nance. He said the situation requires the pilot to make an "instantaneous" response, with few options. Nance says wealthy, high-profile passengers might sometimes bully pilots, yet that "rarely" results in an accident. "So many musicians who have died in small aircraft," said Nance. "You would think that anybody in show business would be three times more sensitive."
