Five People Killed Near Travolta's Home

Posted Jan 26th 2008 12:25PM by TMZ Staff

A fatal car accident killed five young men on an airstrip located adjacent to the Florida home of John Travolta, TMZ has learned.

The five men were speeding down a runway when their car ran off an embankment and was airborne for 200 feet before smashing into a tree early this morning, the AP reports. All five men were pronounced dead at the scene.

The airstrip is located at the exclusive "fly-in" community of Jumbolair Aviation Estates, where John Travolta has a home. The map above, obtained by Ocala.com from the Marion County Property Appraiser's Office, shows how close Travolta's home is to crash scene.

1. Well, I sure hope Travolta went out to the accident scene, because...you know...Scientologist's are the only ones that can really help. *rolls eyes*

2. What the hell does the proximity of John Travolta's home have to do with the fact that five young men are now dead? Did XENU come down or something? If not, stop glamorizing tradgedy with unimportant, unrelated factoids. Of all the families suffering today, I doubt that Travolta's is one of them.

9. If these guys died in some random town no one would report it, but because it's in the vicinity of Travolta's house, it's suddenly news worthy.

13. #7: I hear you. It's not like I think Travolta and Cruise are bad people, and they can believe in whatever they want, but you're right. When you start spouting off on things especially when you know they are controversial, you deserve (or maybe a better word would be--should EXPECT) to take some flak. Once again, not saying they don't deserve freedom of speech, religion, blah, blah, etc. etc. But if you are going out there proclaiming to be the only sub-set of people who are right about this and that, you open yourself to the criticism.

14. FIRST

15. First, my condolences to the families of these 5 men. That being said, Travolta must not have been home because if he was he would have been able to save their lives like a good scientologist.
