Travis Barker, DJ AM Critical After Plane Crash

Posted Sep 20th 2008 9:49AM by TMZ Staff

Travis Barker and DJ AM were passengers on the plane that crashed, critically injuring them and killing four others. The jet was departing from a South Carolina airport.

Travis was taken by ambulance to the Joseph M. Still Burn Center in Augusta, GA and is in critical but stable condition. DJ AM, real name Adam Michael Goldstein, was airlifted to the burn center and is also in critical but stable condition.

Barker had performed Friday night with Perry Farrell, Gavin DeGraw and DJ AM. It has not been confirmed if Farrell and DeGraw were also traveling on the same jet.

A FAA spokesperson said the plane carrying six people attempted to take off shortly before midnight Friday from Columbia, South Carolina when people in the tower report seeing sparks. They said the plane went off the runway and crashed on a highway embankment, catching fire.

27. I live in Texas (central time zone) and have been following this story for a couple of hours. They are not saying much except what has already been reported. I am not usually religious, but it’s funny how we're reminded of the power of prayer when something tragic happens…just pray for the best!
