Former Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker and DJ Adam “DJ AM” Goldstein were both critically injured late Friday night in a plane crash that killed 4 other passengers, authorities are reporting.
“The Learjet 60 crashed on takeoff at the Columbia Metropolitan Airport at 11:53 p.m. Friday” and both Barker and Goldstein were transported to the Joseph Still Burn Center, in Augusta, Georgia, suffering “extensive burns”.
Although earlier reports feared musicians Gavin DeGraw and Perry Ferrell were on the plane as well, those facts have proven to be false at this time.
While it’s unclear what caused the crash, authorities say they saw sparks “coming off the runway” during take-off.

i will cry if anything happens to travis.
he’s my hero
Updates:
The 4 killed were the pilot, co-pilot, Travis’s assistant and Travis’s body guard.
Travis was burned from the waist down, and DJ AM had facial burns.
They are both in critical condition and at I believe at least Travis is confirmed to be in the burn unit, but DJ AM might be as well.

Sarabeth, uhh, something DID happen to him. He nearly burned to death, he lost one of his best friends, and he’s fighting for his life right now…

rofl dood how does it happen that 2 famous people dont die but the rest do, and how does it happen that mr everyone thinks im sexy only gets his legs burnt? if u ask me this is bull.
whats even worse is that chris baker was someone who didn’t normally fly on private jets, but he was making an exception because his wife had gone into labor and he was trying to get home. god that’s awful.
