Travis Barker And DJ AM Critically Injured After Fatal Plane Crash
Travis Barker and DJ AM were critically injured after a small Learjet crashed during takeoff in Columbia, South Carolina. 3 men and 1 women were killed. Officials confirmed to NBC that two crew members and two passengers were killed. The names of the deceased have not been released.
Travis was taken by ambulance to a burn center in Augusta, GA. DJ AM was airlifted to the same burn center. They are both in critical condition.
Last night, Travis and DJ AM performed with Perry Farrell and Gavin DeGraw. It's not known if Perry or Gavin were on the same flight.
A spokesperson for the FAA said the Lear 60 was bound for Van Nuys, CA before midnight on Friday with six people on it. Air-traffic controllers reported seeing sparks. They said the plane went off the runway and crashed on a nearby road.
Condolences to the family and friends of the those who lost their lives. Good thoughts to Travis and DJ AM and their families.
UPDATE: Perry Farrell's manager confirmed to MTV News that Perry was not on the plane.
UPDATE II: Gavin DeGraw's publicist confirmed to People that Gavin was not on the plane. MSNBC reports that the female pilot, Sarah Lemmon, and the male co-pilot, James Bland, died in the crash.
UPDATE III: - MSNBC confirmed that 29-year-old Chris Baker of Studio City, CA was one of the passengers who died in the crash. Chris, who is known as "Little Chris," was Travis' assistant. One male passenger still hasn't been identified.
UPDATE IV: A witness who was driving down the highway saw two men, presumably Travis and DJ AM, taking off their clothes and trying to extinguish themselves. The two men told the witness that four other people were on the plane.
UPDATE V: 25-year-old Charles Still of Riverside, CA has been identified as the fourth victim of the crash. Charles was Travis' bodyguard.
UPDATE VI: TMZ reports that DJ AM's face has been severely burned and is being treated right now. Travis is expected to survive, but was burned from the waist down. Chris Baker, Travis' assistant who died in the crash, was a newlywed and his wife recently had a baby.
UPDATE VII: The National Transportation Safety Board held a press conference and gave a few more details about the crash. They said the jet overran the runway, hit a few lights and an antenna, crashed through a fence and careened across the highway next to the airport. The jet crashed into an embankment where it caught on fire.

No offense taken, EB. And thank you for your kindness, SpaghettiCat.
People is reporting that Travis was "defiant after the accident and didn't want to be lifted in a helicopter, but rather an ambulance, so they had to knock him out."

Well, I didn't even know Blink 182 was still performing together. That's really all I have to say on the matter.
Dammit Joanne- I am tryign to maintain sensitivity to those involved but the image of them 69ing totally popped into my head when you posted. Damn your innuendo!

I think my friend Mr. Stewart said it best:
Everybody is a star
I can feel it when you shine on me
I love you for who you are

I don't know, EB -- I've stared death in the face myself (almost died five years ago after my gastric bypass), and I'm not scared to go. Hanging around in pain and suffering, without a shred of dignity, is worse. I've been watching my bf die for more than a year now, and there's no way I'd ever go through that -- he's terrified to go, but won't cooperate with his doctors. And he's partially limbless -- both feet amputated.
I've discussed here before that I cope with severe depression, so perhaps that contributes to my non-fear of death.

How did they know Christa Mc Aulliffe had dandruff?
They found her head and shoulders on the beach.
That's just crude.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
crude? nice (oily) touch.
I had a bunch of tattoo jokes, but your tasteless remark has distracted my gnat like attention span. That and the sexy eddie pic in El B's icon.
You should be ashamed of yourself - the dead deserve our respect, and prayers to a sky fairy. My dog, they were PARENTS and someones CHILDREN!
kidding!! HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH loved those shuttle jokes.
whoa...this is terrible
my pops worked the ER and burn unit for 10 years plus and volunteered after setting up practice.
People can and do beg for someone to end their life, sometimes months after a tragic burn. Even after a first-second degree burn on a large portion of the body.
The stories dad shared with us kids still make nervous when lighting my cigs. He use to take me with him on visits to patients and the morgue.
I'm not that strong. If I burnt my limbs off, I may want to die in a blaze of morphine.
I'm sure TB and AM are getting the best.

Let me just say this: I will not think you're a bad person if you don't exactly break down crying for these two. I won't think any less of you if you do drop to your knees and pray for them. You're entitled to feel however you will. Please don't chastise others for feeling differently than yourself. I'm sure noone here is unsympathetic towards the deceased, and if they feel a certain way about DJ AM and Travis Barker, try not to take it personally. It's nothing against you, really.

on that note abut perez *picking up where others left off on this subject* when i heard of dlisted through his site i started coming here and never went back much.
for one, the old comments stay on top which is just stupid so the newer ones are never seen or heard. comments should always be newest to oldest.
secondly, he is a total waste of space, he's ugly, he has no talent, and he he think he's a celebrity. his site is so slanted and biased it's ridiculous. i can't stand his fat ass.

Oh My God, wow. I just...don't really know what or how to say it.
It's not about the celebrities or whatever here. 4 dead people and their poor families, they were freaking babies. And even when the 2 that survived are 'famous' or whatever, I don't really give a shit about their social status. One of them is a young man with what I suppose a suffering family, and the other guy is a fucking FATHER for God's sake...this is all kinds of wrong, (just like all the millions of people dying in wars, natural disasters, etc, I don't feel any more or less for them, tragedy is tragedy and it just sucks...too too wrong).
I had second degree burns from the SUN (redhead white, my skin is bullshit) and I suffered like a motherfucker, I don't even want to know what straight fire does to skin (personally). In all honesty if I was in any of their positions I would probably kill myself, I don't have the will to live through that pain, not the spirit, the soul you need to overcome something like this. Cause there is also the trauma of being part of such an accident.
This is just horrible, God keep all of their souls and protect them.

I only know these guys through stories here on Dlisted, but my heart just breaks for them. Such a reminder that at any age, any day spent warm, well-fed, and comfortable* should be appreciated to the fullest!
Any one of us could die any day, or be horrifically injured. Most of the victims are like, 10 years younger than me, and they are either dead or changed forever.....it kind of puts a lot into perspective.
btw, Jim Croce was also killed in a plane crash...He had a son who was too young to remember his dad. Tragic.
