Travis Barker And DJ AM Critically Injured After Fatal Plane Crash
Travis Barker and DJ AM were critically injured after a small Learjet crashed during takeoff in Columbia, South Carolina. 3 men and 1 women were killed. Officials confirmed to NBC that two crew members and two passengers were killed. The names of the deceased have not been released.
Travis was taken by ambulance to a burn center in Augusta, GA. DJ AM was airlifted to the same burn center. They are both in critical condition.
Last night, Travis and DJ AM performed with Perry Farrell and Gavin DeGraw. It's not known if Perry or Gavin were on the same flight.
A spokesperson for the FAA said the Lear 60 was bound for Van Nuys, CA before midnight on Friday with six people on it. Air-traffic controllers reported seeing sparks. They said the plane went off the runway and crashed on a nearby road.
Condolences to the family and friends of the those who lost their lives. Good thoughts to Travis and DJ AM and their families.
UPDATE: Perry Farrell's manager confirmed to MTV News that Perry was not on the plane.
UPDATE II: Gavin DeGraw's publicist confirmed to People that Gavin was not on the plane. MSNBC reports that the female pilot, Sarah Lemmon, and the male co-pilot, James Bland, died in the crash.
UPDATE III: - MSNBC confirmed that 29-year-old Chris Baker of Studio City, CA was one of the passengers who died in the crash. Chris, who is known as "Little Chris," was Travis' assistant. One male passenger still hasn't been identified.
UPDATE IV: A witness who was driving down the highway saw two men, presumably Travis and DJ AM, taking off their clothes and trying to extinguish themselves. The two men told the witness that four other people were on the plane.
UPDATE V: 25-year-old Charles Still of Riverside, CA has been identified as the fourth victim of the crash. Charles was Travis' bodyguard.
UPDATE VI: TMZ reports that DJ AM's face has been severely burned and is being treated right now. Travis is expected to survive, but was burned from the waist down. Chris Baker, Travis' assistant who died in the crash, was a newlywed and his wife recently had a baby.
UPDATE VII: The National Transportation Safety Board held a press conference and gave a few more details about the crash. They said the jet overran the runway, hit a few lights and an antenna, crashed through a fence and careened across the highway next to the airport. The jet crashed into an embankment where it caught on fire.

It has nothing to do with "free speech."
IMHO dlisted is not the appropriate forum for righteous indignation.
I see comments on here all the time that I find appalling me or anger me. I ask myself "Is it worth it to invest the emotional energy required to start up with someone I don't even really know?" I answer "no" and I go on my merry way.
But that's just me.

Sing it, Mrs. Kravitz...
If Rob had owned that album, he'd be alive today.
Gosh, I must sound so irreverent and cold-blooded. Shoeaddict is probably going to light a prayer candle for me later.
That's just how I deal with the little things life throws my way.
I remember at Rob's funeral... he was cremated (that joke tells itself)... the funeral director was this HUGE man. I mean, we're talking one slice of cheese away from a coronary. He could barely breathe. He was giving this eulogy and then he told us to rise for a round of Amazing Grace. So he starts us off, but this man is totally tone deaf. I mean, it was one note the whole way through... my ears started to bleed. But he was so into it, he thought he was friggin' Pavarotti.
Then Rob's sister joins in with this extremely high falsetto. Like Ana Gasteyer in that SNL skit where they play the music teachers. It was excruciating.
So my best friend and I just look at each other and start laughing. Laughing so hard we started to cry. We hugged each other so tight.. people were rubbing our shoulders to comfort us because they thought we were having a breakdown. That just made us laugh even more.
As we were wiping our eyes, my friend just looks at me and says, "Rob would've LOVED this shit."
Seriously, one of the best funerals I've been to ever.

zzzzzZZZZZzzzzz Huh? Wha?
Oh for fucks sakes.
going over to the dog thread.
I don't think this is funny, and I'm not cheering for joy...and I don't think anyone else here is either. Telling jokes at awkward, unfunny moments is part of human nature, an effort to ease the uncomfortableness of the situation. At the same time, I'm not exactly crying into my pillow. I've never understood why when someone is injured or killed, they suddenly become outstanding human beings, and we are all supposed to mourn. If we want the world to truly mourn for us, why don't we try harder to be upstanding citizens and earn the respect of others? This tragic accident doesn't change who these two men were every other day of their lives. I do feel sympathy for the others who were killed because they very well may have been good people. But I also keep in mind that every second of every day, others who are not famous and rich die, and are maimed in horrible accidents, and are suffering as I type this. These two are not more special than those others who are unknown and will never gain recognition. I cannot sit in judgement on those who are not all torn up about this.

I don't think you should feel sad and wimpy if you don't. I was just curious as to how you felt it for these two people you don't know as opposed to the other two people you don't know. Not that im judgin or the authority or demandin an explanation, just seemed odd and the only difference between the two was that there was no sympathy for the 2 that were famous and there was for the two who weren't

I didn't say you can't say it. I just don't think its funny.
U say what u want i said what i want.
U want to b able to say your comments in a bubble and thats not how it works...Freedom of speech goes both ways. Say your stupid ass comments and hold your head up high. Don't get mad at me when i comment back and u start to get a tingle in the empty space where ur conscience used to be.
Have respect for the dead is all im sayin. u wouldn't show up at these peoples funerals and say the exact same thing to his kids and his wife.
Cuz its inappropriate and its not funny. And i have a right to call u out on it...the same right that u have to say it

Actually, Shoe, you're not in the minority by any means. Like I said, you should really take the time to read all the comments before jumping to conclusions that we were making fun of deceased people and then shaming us by trying to say we did something wrong. And the reason why I don't feel sympathy for them really has no reason other than I JUST DON'T! I'm not even joking... it sucks that this happened, and I certainly never wished this on them or am hoping they kick the bucket, but I just don't get why I should feel weepy and sad for someone I never liked. I can't fake my sympathy, and I certainly shouldn't be made to feel bad about it.

Senior Republican Senator Chuck Hagel has voiced doubts about Sarah Palin's qualifications for the vice-presidency.
Mr Hagel criticised the McCain campaign for its suggestion that the proximity of Alaska to Russia gave Mrs Palin foreign policy experience.
"I think they ought to be just honest about it and stop the nonsense about, 'I look out my window and I see Russia and so therefore I know something about Russia'," he said.
"That kind of thing is insulting to the American people."

My original post was very general to anyone who said that they deserved what they got for being douchebags. YOU RESPONDED to me as if you wanted to speak on bahalf of the people who said such things. So my next comment was addressed to you.
You don't think Travis and AM deserve your sympathy because they were good enough at what they do to become mainstream and popular? What did they ever do to you? I think all of the victims deserve our sympathy and prayers. Making music u don't like or dating people you don't approve of is a far cry from being Bin Laden.
I rag on celebrities and make fun of them like everyone else but death and disfigurement and excruciating pain is where I draw the line. And I feel strong enuf about that to speak up about it. Sorry if I don't agree with the majority today. But this one was worth taking
a stand for.
I don't believe any of you should go away, or stop posting or any of that. I just wanted to remind the people who r making fun of this situation that these r real people with real families, children etc. and if you want to keep goin and that doesn't bother you then you can....but this is one topic where you're going to get a little push back from me. I ain't afraid of you muthafockers.
If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything.

TITS, you're either REALLY old (like me) or REALLY young. Here's your answer:
Creed was an American rock band from Tallahassee, Florida that became popular in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The band won a Grammy Award for Best Rock Song for the song "With Arms Wide Open" in 2001. The band broke up in 2004 after three multi-platinum albums, selling more than 30 million copies in the U.S. alone.

Creed? Is that an abbreviation for Creedence Clearwater Revival? I hope not. That'd be tragic. I need clarity on this.
Mrs K. Whippets don't have fat asses. Care to explain snookums? Made magic bars instead - trying something new - I followed the recipe! Mostly.
I heard DJ AM's Lap band was on fire!
I think there's a simple reason why these two survived;
they were probably sitting by the door.
Travis may have opened the door first, exposing only his legs to the flames, but the air rushing into the plane from the door being opened may have blown the fire back and up, onto DJ AM's face. I'm just throwing out some physics; just a guess.
In case someone didn't get this part of the story, the plane never took off; it was seen sparking on the runway and veered off while still on the ground. Sounds like the landing gears malfunctioned, or a tire blew. A shredded tire can sever fuel lines and cause a fire with just a single spark and can also sever electrical lines, making the pilots unaware of danger because their warning system was just destroyed. The NTSB almost always figures out the cause; I just hope we are told the truth.
