Travis Barker and DJ AM, despite being badly burned, are very lucky to have survived Friday night's plane crash. If you've seen the video footage, it would make you wonder how anyone could have come out of that alive - yet two people did. New details have come to light as to how the men got out with their lives....
Lieut. Josh Shumpert of the South Congaree Police Dept. to spoke with PEOPLE:
"[Travis and Adam] told me that they slid down the wing on the right side of the plane. They said they were on fire, and that they tackled each other and put each other out." Shumpert's dashcam caught the video of the burning plane.
Shumpert adds, "When I got there they were on the side of the road. They were pacing and in shock.
"Travis was very shaken up." Travis had been given Gatorade after asking for some water.
Earlier reports said that the men were naked, but according to the lieutenant, they were not.
"Travis was wearing some kind of shorts and no shirt." DJ AM had boxers or shorts on as well. "Travis had one sock on. And a black hat on his head."
Both men were quick thinking and that gave them a fighting chance of surviving.
Dr. Mullins of the Joseph M. Still Burn Center at Doctors' Hospital in Augusta gave a press conference on Sunday.
"Since both Barker and Goldstein are in overall good health and didn't suffer from any other crash-related complications, a full recovery is expected." The doctor notes that recovery from burns can take as long as a year.
Travis and Adam are so lucky to have survived. I'm sure their families are feeling very thankful to have them here.
