Sources tell us Travis Barker and DJ AM saved their own lives after their plane crashed by jumping out the door of the burning plane, almost immediately after the small jet came to a halt.
As we reported, both are at a burn center, but it could have been fatal. The Learjet was already on fire when they fled.

7. I wonder if they tried to help the others, or just jumped out only thinking of themselves....
Hopefully there is more to this part of the story than we are seeing at the moment.

15. There is very strong instinct to save oneself, that is only human...and they are not out of the woods yet, depending on how bad their burns are they could still pass away, many people die from infection and smoke inhilaion
At least they are in one of the best burn centers in the south
