The Return Flight Still Had Room

Wikipedia 

 Aaliyah's death was attributed to an overloaded plane; however, questions have been raised about Hype Williams, who made the decision for her to film in the Bahamas. Was the plane really overloaded? Aaliyah and her companions didn’t need to stay in the Bahamas for that long. How much stuff could they possibly have? 

The aircraft designated for the return flight was smaller than the one on which they had originally arrived, but it still had room to take on the whole party and all of their equipment. I don’t get it.

 Why was the crew arguing with the pilot when he informed them that the plane was overloaded? I might have felt frustrated and impatient, but I wouldn't have rushed to board that plane knowing it posed a danger to my life. I don't believe they were eager to get on it either.

Aaliyah’s family did file a lawsuit. I would have been so outraged, I would have been suing those that did not have permits to be flying, Hype Williams for changing his mind to leave one place to go to another with Aaliyah, and everybody that played a part in her death. I would have kept nothing confidential. What for? I would have been extremely upset.
