Oh, god. Mr. Rilch thinks someone he knows and has worked with might have been on that plane. I wondered why he was following the story so avidly.
What I mean by “might” and “thinks” is, we know this guy was working on this video. Mr. Rilch’s boss told us Courtney was in the Bahamas, “doing a video. Uh, Aaliyah.” What’s less certain is the possibility of his being on the plane. I would imagine the artist would leave earlier than the crew, but you never know. Courtney, I hope you’re okay.
What the hell happened to my thread? I beat Kunimitsu’s thread by five minutes. Did I just preview it and not post? Oh, jeez, I did. I was keeping an ear open for Mr. Rilch on the phone, asking Ed if he knew when Courtney was supposed to come back.
Anyway, condolences to Miss Aaliyah’s family and friends, and those of the other victims.
