Wow this hella sucks, I am a huge fan of Travis Barker and Famous Stars And Straps. Pretty much all I wear are those shirts, other then dress shirts Hope that both DJ AM and Travis pull through this, that is so sad especially after performing for a free concert too

I just heard about this when I got up, some crazy stuff can happen. I just hop that he is ok in the long run. With burns like that it will really mess up all his tats.

What do you MEAN they jumped out? With parachutes, or like right before the plane crashed... I don't see how that would save someone when the plane is going 100mph++

Ah, makes more sense now... The plane crashed while taking off, so basically it crashed at the end of the run way and took out the freeway... Travis and his friend AM were ejected from the plane, talk about LUCK

The crash took place just before midnight on Friday and involved a twin-engine private Learjet with six passengers onboard, according to Lynne Douglas, public information officer for the Columbia Metro Airport. While taking off, the plane, which never left the ground, overran the runway, struck an antenna array and several lights, and began sending up sparks. It skidded off the end of the runway, through a perimeter fence separating the airfield from a nearby roadway, and then crossed the roadway, coming to a stop on an embankment. The plane caught fire on impact. Douglas said two passengers — who were later confirmed to be AM and Barker — escaped the aircraft while it was on the ground, while the other two passengers and crew members died in the crash.

My DJ friends that have met Adam (AM) are pretty shook up about this. Travis seems like a cool dude, they basically had to knock him out to get him in the ambulance, he was tryin to get back to the plane to rescue ppl.
