Five People Killed Near Travolta's Home

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

93. is one mile near? Cause that distance is about a mile. Look up the length of the runway and you can figure it out. The question is, was Spears distracting the driver with her saggy boobs. And what the heck were they doing on the runway, they could have caused a disaster with their stupidity. No, I don't believe their deaths are a disaster, it's Darwinism. Their deaths are sad, but thats about it.

94.

TMZ--first off, I agree that it has nothing to do with John Travolta at all, so why bring his name into it? Secondly, if TMZ bothered to read the REAL news articles about it, they didn't run off an embankment, they ran off the END of the runway, which is an elevated runway. There were skidmarks at the end of the runway.

It sounds like a game of chicken or something that went terribly awry. But still, it has nothing whatsoever to do with John Travolta.

95. How come John didn't use his Scientology super powers to help them? Aren't they supposed to stop and help accident victims cause they're the only ones who can?????

102. Who gives a crap that people died close to his home?!?! Was John Travolta involved? NO, so why would we care?!?! I used to LOVE TMZ and lately it just keeps getting lame and tacky. I have lost a lot of respect for TMZ especialy with the posting about Heath Ledger and how they how know shame in showing complete disrespect for his mourning family. What do y'all think?

104. This happened less then five miles from my home and just why the heck is it on TMZ other than the fact that Travolta is one of our neighbors. He had nothing to do with the accident. This is a horrible thing that has happened here in our community. Back off people!

105. A. John Travolta was at home.
B. The teens where some place that they shouldn't have been.
C. You are ignorant and know NOTHING about what happened here.
D. You should get a life and mourn for these families.
