fact 57.

When emergency teams arrived at the muddy scene minutes later, they found Aaliyah some 20 feet from the fuselage, curled on her left side. She and five others had died instantly; three passengers who survived impact did not survive the night.

"I've been on some gruesome ones, but this one was bad."
