Not too long ago there was a singer of modern hip hop/fame and she had chartered a Cessna 402 to fly from the Bahamas to Florida, and the singer and other members who had accompanied her insisted on cramming in more pieces of equipment then she had come over with, and as the 402 tried to rotate off the runway they crashed do to being overloaded and too heavy.
