Travis Barker and DJ AM Only Survivors of a Plane Crash


Travis Barker, former drummer for the band Blink 182 and DJ AM are in critical condition at a hospital after surviving a plane crash in South Carolina. They were the only survivors. The two pilots, Travis' assistant Chris Baker, and Travis' bodyguard Charles Still did not survive.

From Yahoo News:



Former Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and celebrity disc jockey DJ AM are expected to fully recover from burns they suffered in a fiery South Carolina jet crash that killed the other four people aboard, one of their doctors said Sunday. Dr. Fred Mullins, medical director of the Joseph M. Still Burn Center, said the two suffered second- and third-degree burns but had no other injuries from the crash that one witness described as a fireball shooting across a highway. "Anybody who can survive a plane crash is pretty lucky," Mullins told reporters during a news conference Sunday morning. Barker was burned on his torso and lower body and DJ AM, whose real name is Adam Goldstein, was burned on an arm and a portion of his scalp, according to a statement from the musicians' families released by the hospital. Mullins declined to discuss specific recovery times for the men, but said such injuries can take a year to fully heal. Both men are still in critical but stable condition, he said."


I heard Shanna flew in to be with Travis. My thoughts and prayers go out to the friends and family to everyone involved, especially to those who passed away. Hopefully Travis and DJ AM make a full recovery.
