Blink 182s Travis Barker And DJ AM In Plane Crash

September 22, 2008
Blink 182s Travis Barker And DJ AM In Plane CrashBlink 182 drummer Travis Barker and Adam Goldstein (better known as DJ AM) are listed in critical condition after a fatal plane crash that killed four others on Friday night (September 19).

The pair both suffered extensive burns, Barker from the waist down and Goldstein to the face after their plane took off at approximately 11:53PM at the Columbia Metropolitan Airport in South Carolina according to CNN.com.

The four reported dead are Chris Baker, assistant to Barker; Charles Still, security for Barker, pilot Sarah Lemmon and co-pilot James Bland.

Speaking about the crash, spokeswoman Debbie Hersman said, "They overran the end of runway 11. They impacted the antenna array and a number of lights at the end of the runway. They went through the perimeter fence and across the roadway here. There was a significant post-crash fire.”

Barker and Goldstein, who perform together under TRVSDJ-AM, had previously held a free outdoor concert in Columbia, South Carolina playing alongside Perry Farrell, DJ Steve Aoki and Gavin DeGraw.
