Condition Update -- Barker and DJ AM

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.

226. My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone that was on this plane. This is such a horrible thing to hear. I hope Travis and Adam make speedy recoveries, and my deepest sympathy goes to the families that lost someone today. Chris, I know you're watching over your wife and new baby. You will be greatly missed!

229. They will recover... you people have got to believe in the power of prayer regardless if they believed in the Lord. As long as we keep praying all will be as our Lord planned it. It wasn't their time, they were left behind for a reason. I can bet this has and will change them forever. As for Mike and everyone else on here talking their smack..ignore them, the Lord will handle them in his own way.

231. I am so sad about Travis and his fam. I used to watch "Meet the Barkers" i feel as though I kinda know them. I recently saw him in escondido at restaurant getting into car, but diddn't know who he was at first. I kert starring trying to see if I recognized him from somewhere . Then it dawned on me it was Travis... We made eye contact aand I felt like he was looking at me as well, I think he thought I may have been a friend. At that moment I realized it was him the valet gave him his car and he drve off. I just feel that his life to have such sudden crisis is so tragic and I so empathize with the family grieving as I only can. I am praying for his healing and his families streghth through this crisis. I am a nurse and from the "stable critical codition" is a good sign. Burns are very tricky to treat'but science has become amazing at treating burns to bring them back to lives which make it difficult to even see they had burns. Skin grafts are amazing now days. Infection and fluid hydration are the most important thing drs and nurses are focused on now

232. It's always sad when something tragic happens, however, it's even worse when it happens to pro-active people. Not many people in life have a passion or drive. It's inspiring to see that quality someone. The last few weeks Travis Barker has really caught my eye in the media. Every time I have saw him, I consciously gave him a second thought. I didn't think about anything particular, but I watched a little longer and had a feeling of respect. DJ-AM, I always thought was hot. Not necessarily because of his looks, but because of his mystery. It was always visible to me that he chose to stay of the headlines. I got the vibe it was more about his music. I commend him. Every day youth is faced with temptation, it's nature to give in, the experience is usually worth it. It takes strength though to stay true to yourself throughout the adventure. I think both men are amazing assets to hollywood and much needed. My thoughts are with them, and I hope they both pull threw.
My heart goes in t to their families, children, ex-wife, current/previous girlfriends, friends, and the whole hollywood community.

Friends are so important. It's rare to find amazing ones. The saddest part of this is Chris. It puts me at a stand still and I am stunned. With death there is birth, and I think there will be tons of love for his baby. May the family, his wife and friends find peace and keep his spirit alive.

*I don't really blog, this tragedy really shook me.

233. God, this is really sad news. I just heard on E news that Chris Baker, Travis's assistant who perished in the crash, just lost a brother 2 weeks ago in a car accident. What a tragedy.

234. This is just awful! I just heard about it. I really do hope that they can pull through this. They've already came out of this very lucky individuals. So sad to hear that Chris was newly married and has a baby. Sad sad sad... this kinda thing makes you think differently about living your life to the fullest :(

235. Yes they put you in a coma and then you have the pleaure of them scraping the burnt skin off you. My brother was in explosion and had severe burns to his hands and face. its extremaly painful to recover from any type of burn. His skin is splotchy on his hands but amazingly his face recovered and shows hardly any signs of the burns. I hope AM and Travis heal as well as Philly did. Im sure when you are on fire and in a plane crash you are trying to do whate ver you can to get out and driven by instinct, adrenelin and/or shock. I seriously doubt they pushed people out of the way to save themselves.

236. OMG....I think it was a "god shot" that those two survived....
It's like a super hero story...They jumped out of the plane b4 it blew up!!
Anyways, of course our thoughts and prayers are with them.
I do wonder though...If travis was burned from waist down????
We love you anyways

238. Travis is alive and recovering. He is not dead. and I got that from Assocciated Press. http://www.newsday.com/news/nationworld/nation/wire/sns-ap-learjet-crash,0,6625409.story

239. From the statements of a witness and injuries sustained, it sounds like DjAM sustained his injuries trying to help travis... one person was seen burning, running in circles while another was chasing him trying to help him, removing his burning clothing. sounds as if adam may be a big time hero, POSSIBLY saving a life, without regard to his own safety....?

240. DJ AM and Travis are expected to make full recoveries. http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-crash22-2008sep22,0,4694330.story
Prayers to the families of the deceased.
