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.

Allow me to refresh you on this topic: "Let me just say this: I will not think you're a bad person if you don't exactly break down crying for these two. I won't think any less of you if you do drop to your knees and pray for them. You're entitled to feel however you will. Please don't chastise others for feeling differently than yourself. I'm sure noone here is unsympathetic towards the deceased, and if they feel a certain way about DJ AM and Travis Barker, try not to take it personally. It's nothing against you, really."

I am not a doctor/nurse/whatever, but I would think that if DJ-AMs face was severely burned, that he is now completely sedated and put on a ventilator to ensure that his airway is kept open. If his face was badly burned then there is also the possibility that he breathed in searing hot air, which would toast his airway and cause swelling. Notice how they said that Travis would likely survive but didn't say the same for DJ-AM.
Submitted by joanne on September 20, 2008 - 11:07am.
I am distressed about where they were burned. The top half of one and the bottom half of the other. A bit unusual.
