Former Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and celebrity DJ AM were critically injured in a fiery Learjet crash in South Carolina that killed four people, authorities said Saturday.

Officials said the plane carrying six people was departing shortly before midnight Friday when air traffic controllers reporting seeing sparks. The plane hurtled off the end of a runway and crashed through antennas and a fence. It came to rest on an embankment across a five-lane highway and was engulfed in flames, said Debbie Hersman, a member of the National Transportation Safety Board.
Hopefully they'll make a full recovery and my prayers go out to the family of the 4 that passed.

I love Travis and Blink 182 so this is pretty sad. I hope he recovers!

Something good: The Burn Center in Augusta is fabulous. They will get excellent care there.

That's very Grey's Anatomy.. and very, very sad.

T-Mobile just came to the Carolinas, so they were performing in Columbia (at Five Points, down the street from USC) as a part of the promotion.

Prayers to Travis and DJAM, as well as the family members of the ones who were lost.

That is incorrect. She was not in labor at the time of the accident nor were they flying back b/c she was in labor.


In any case, it's so sad and I hope the best for them. Barker was severely burned from the waist down but is expected to survive. DJ AM was burned in the face and was airlifted to the burn center.

She's not even pregnant! It sounds like that rumor was brought to us by the same people who "confirmed" that 5-year old rapists were wielding machetes in the Superdome.

She already had the baby. I'm not sure how old it is though. And DJ AM, I believe, just lost his brother in a car accident about two weeks ago. :(

Sounds like maybe DJ AM had a guardian angel looking after him.

They are expected to make a full recovery:
