And It Gets Even Sadder

Just when you thought this story couldn't get anymore tragic, it does. I'm warning you. This might completely ruin your Saturday night.

UPDATE: TMZ removed their original story and corrected it. Publicists for Travis Barker and DJ AM said their sources are telling lies. Chris' wife was not about to go into labor at the time of the crash. That was also not the reason why they traveled on the Learjet. She's not even pregnant.

TMZ reports that Travis Barker and his friends weren't originally supposed to be on that Learjet last night. Earlier yesterday, Travis' assistant, Chris Baker, found out his wife was about to go into labor. Travis promised Chris that he would do whatever he could to get him home as quickly as possible. They learned that the fastest way to get from South Carolina to Van Nuys was to travel by private jet.

Travis doesn't usually fly by private plane, but did it so that Chris could be with his wife.

We all know what happened next. Four people including Chris were killed in the crash after midnight. Chris' wife went into labor this morning. They also have another child together.

Travis and DJ AM are currently being treated at a burn center in Augusta, GA. People reports that Shanna Moakler has flown from Los Angeles to be with Travis. Her mother said they haven't told Travi's kids yet until they know more. Travis reportedly suffered burns from the waist down.

One of DJ AM's friends told E! News that his face is very burned. The friend said, "More than 50 percent of his body is burned and the worst is on his face." He has been put in a doctor-induced coma so he can undergo skin grafts.

There is a whole lot of sadness on this one post. On that note, I think this is our cue to crawl into bed with a big bottle of anything alocholic.

I would be going fucking crazy if I were her. I would be a wreck. I hope that she is surrounded by people who love her so she can get through this difficult time.
-----------------
Yes hopefully she has a strong support system. This is fucking unthinkable, i'm still trying to wrap my head around it.

These things are always so tragic, I can't imagine how horrible it is to do someone a favor, and they end up dead - the wife to deliver alone in grief. God bless all of them. Really sad, I had heard that DJ AM was the most injured, induced coma - wow.

This reminds me that Eric Clapton was supposed to be on the helicopter with Stevie Ray Vaughan when it crashed.

One thing I've been thinking about a lot with this is that Travis is such a devoted dad. He's more of a father to Shanna's older daughter than her actual father, Oscar de la Whorearound. Getting his assistant back to his laboring wife would be typical of Travis.

As I said before, sadness all around.

My thoughts and prayers are with all passengers on this ill-fated plane. So sad for the lost ones, and the battle ahead of the lucky survivors will be grueling. That poor woman giving birth as her husband's death is still probably so uncomprehendable, when those hormones are raging my heart aches for her. A joyous occasion forever marked by tragedy.

Thank you MK for reporting on this story with class and respect for all those involved.
Its at times like these I wonder why can't everything be happy? No pain, no sadness, no heartache? My naivety, I guess.
Condolences all around. I hope Travis and DJ AM have a speedy and healthy recovery.

That is possibly the saddest thing ever.

I don't know how I'd cope feeling so much sadness and joy at the same time. That's gut wrenching.

Extremely sad and depressing.

You're a class act, MK. Love you.

Who cares if he wasn't the pope or Mother Theresa. That doesn't mean his life was less valuable. All life means something, nobody is more deserving of grief than anyone else, and his family deserves condolences just as yours would if they lost you. I think it is of poor taste for you to tell others to go to church and talk about God and all that other bullshit when it is clear that you are the one who is in dire need of spiritual guidance.

wow you are so compassionate, it's amazing
"So, shut your mouth and go to church" is EXCELLENT advice

jussayin's picture

I have never "gotten over" the death of anyone in my family. Time may lessen the severity of the grief, but no I don't think too many people wake up one day and go..."oh well, don't miss so and so anymore". And yes tragedy happens to everyone, so try to get som fucking class in your heart when you talk to other people because one day it will happen to you...

I am reminded at times like these that it's a good idea to "shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel."

And I don’t wanna take for granted the time you may have here with me
‘Cause Lord only knows another day is not really guaranteed..."

Yeah, it's a waste of human life and it's sad for the families but they will get over it and perhaps will wind a new meaning in life. Life goes on. Tragedies happen every day and we only focus on selective ones.

Maybe I'll put sparkling water in it! Then it can be a "sparkling" Lemoncello.

Oh my gosh... that is horrible. I can't imagine what Travis and DJ AM must be feeling right now with that on their hearts.

At the memorial service a few hours ago, someone was passing out slips of paper with a website where you can send them get well messages. I just did, and if any of you want to, too, just go to www.getwelltravis.com. I posted a message to him and to DJ AM.
