TMZ has learned Travis Barker has been burned from the waist down, but he is expected to survive the plane crash. DJ AM's face was severely burned and is being tended to right now. 
We're also told the tragedy is all the worse because one of the passengers who died, Chris Baker, Travis' assistant on "Meet the Barkers," was married recently and has a new baby.

12. Oh man, I'm actually crying right now. I feel so bad for Chris' family. His poor wife and baby.... OMG, that is just too sad for words. Life can be such a bitch sometimes. Travis and DJ AM are two of the luckiest bastards on earth right now. I hope they both get well soon.
