Updated: Travis Barker and DJ AM in Plane Crash

By | September 20th, 2008 at 2:11 pm

 

Travis Barker and DJ AM were the only two survivors from a plane crash in Columbia, South Carolina.  They are in critical condition.

Barker and Adam “DJ AM” Goldstein were leaving Columbia after playing a large outdoor concert Saturday night.   According to CNN, “the Learjet 60 crashed on takeoff at the Columbia Metropolitan Airport at 11:53 p.m.”  It was headed to Van Nuys, California.

From CNN:

“They overran the end of runway 11. They
impacted the antenna array and a number of lights at the end of the
runway. They went through the perimeter fence and across the roadway
here,” said NTSB spokeswoman Debbie Hersman, briefing reporters on Saturday. “There was a significant post-crash fire.”

William Owens told WIS-TV he was driving down Highway 302 when he said he saw a fireball go across the road.


“I didn’t know what I had seen — it was maybe 800 feet in front of me,
but as I approached it closer though, I made out a fire. By then I was
able to see the tail of the jet and I recognized it as a jet,” Owens
said.

Owens told the station he tried to get to the wreckage.


“It’s in flames and the fuel is running across the road and I had to
cross the fuel to get to the two guys that seemed to have been dumped
on the highway,” Owens said.

Owens told WIS-TV the two men were
running around and pulling off clothing to put out the flames. He said
he asked them if anyone else was on board the plane and they said four
people were with them.

“We turned to the jet to try and see if
there was anything we could do, but immediately, there was nothing
anyone could do,” Owens said.

The four other people on the plane were pilot Sarah Lemmon, 31, co-pilot James Bland, 52,  Chris Baker, 29,  and Charles Still, 25, all from California.

Travis Barker has been the subject of various rumors over the past couple of years regarding his alleged death.   He and Goldstein are listed in critical condition with severe burns.

Travis Barker has two children.

    NO you mindless religious fucks GOD isnt going to save him because there is NO GOD, fuckin hell people learn to stick up for yourself instead of mindlessly following “an all powerful diety”… thats what makes you weak.. if you are going to believe in something keep it to yourself instead of going out and saying “my god will kill this and my god will shed wraith on that”.. fuckin pity, you think if there was a god he would want you spreading threats on his behalf? even i know “god” gave you the ability to “not believe” (or whatever christians made up to not force belief on another) so oooo you better not invoke his wraith on you right?

    and who gives a shit about fuckin travis barker, many planes crash and many people die from it, he isnt any special and infact it annoys me that its posted on yahoo everytime i try to check my mail i see “travis barker crash” to “travis barker leaving the hosipital” to “travis barker takes a shit by himself for the first time”..

    remember folks..
    if you need to believe in an all powerful being to get through the day, you really arent truly human.

    Serves him right for being in such a gay band. I used to respect the man until he allowed the show meet the barkers to be aired. All that program showed was how much shit he wasted all of his money on and the fac that the man is thick as pig shit.

    Please let’s not make this a fuckin’ christian convincement discussion, Travis Barker and DJ AM are lucky to be alive, that has, from my opinion nothing to do with faith. Chris Baker was a good kid too, I talked to that dude, and I wouldn’t know why he would have deserved to pass away any better than Barker or AM. People who say that this kinda shit is funny, what the hell are you trying to do? Someone who gets seriously burnt, or worse, who dies in a planecrash has never been funny, even though it would have been your mother in law you should still be more than the fuckin dickhead that can only bring out “LOL” or “Who cares about a planecrash”. Seriously. If people want to bring out their prayers to AM, Barker and their friends and family I respect that in every possible way but do not try to convince people that there is a god if they don’t believe in one or if they don’t believe in the one you believe in. Faith is existent to bring peace of mind, not to start fights.

    Peace.

    I agree with Angela, you better thank your Lord that his mercy is upon you and this world! The wrath of God is a powerful thing and you should not talk about our Savior that way. It is only God who gives the doctors the knowledge to do anything, without him the doctors or anyone else for that matter would be nothing. I would watch what I said about The Bible. You apparently have no idea Who you are talking about. He could take everything from you in the blink of his eye.
