September 20, 200817 yr Plane Crash Former Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker has been left critically injured after a Learjet crashed while departing from a South Carolina airport. 4 people were killed (two crew members and two passengers), while two people - including Barker and DJ AM, a famed Hollywood DJ - were injured. Hospital spokeswoman Beth Frits says Barker and DJ AM, whose real name is Adam Goldstein, were at a burn center in Augusta, Ga. Barker had performed Friday night at an event alongside Perry Farrell, the former Jane's Addiction singer, as well as Gavin DeGraw and DJ AM. It was not immediately clear whether any of those performers, aside DJ AM were traveling with Barker. Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen said the plane carrying six people was departing shortly before midnight Friday from Columbia when air traffic controllers reporting seeing sparks. She said the plane went off the runway and crashed on a nearby road. Bergen said the Lear 60 was headed to Van Nuys, California. She was unable to confirm the names of who was on board the plane.
September 20, 200817 yr http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=67663 I don't think Travis Barker is that big of a deal to require two threads.
September 20, 200817 yr This is terrible news,he is my all time favorite drummer and I honestly feel like it was a friend that was in the crash. I hope and pray Travis will make it through this.
September 20, 200817 yr The last I read was Barker is expected to make it through this, but he has serious burns from the waist down. Those small planes always frighten me, much more so than larger aircraft.
