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.

31. God bless them. My prayers are with Travis and DJ AM. Burns are terrible injuries to deal with. I sincerely hope that they will be able to pull through this.

32. My thoughts and sympathy go out to all involved. People stop worrying about TMZ breaking tis news late and at least say something nice about those involved in the crash!

33. I was at the concert last night. Great time. I was walking back to my car when I came upon a small group of people.
Gavin DeGraw was standing there , I went over and spoke to him and had my picture taken with him
Very nice guy. I am really concerned since they have not come out and said that he reps have not come out and said he was NOT on the plane that he was one that did not survive. This is completey speculation on my part and I am NOT saying he was on the plane.
I send my prayers to all involved and their loved ones.

34. I hope everything works out for them. It's good to hear they are stable. I know people love to flaunt their wealth, but don't private planes account for something like 90% of all plane crashes? I have no interest in flying on a private plane. If I became the worlds richest person I still wouldn't want to do it unless it was made EXACTLY like a commercial jet and my pilot had at least 10 years of commercial experience.

Get well soon guys.

36. So sad :( Southernbelle I had the same thoughts as you they confirmed one guy was not on the plane but mentioned the number of people who passed and confirmed who was not on the plane. Where is Gavin Degraw? I hope that loved ones can look through the good times they spent together and not dwell on what could have been done differently aka Shauna, Paris, Kim Kardashian & Nicole Richie just please see the joy the brought to your life. In situations like this you can't take things back please be strong and move forward. Blessings

45. Does everyone really need to put their prayers here? Those guys aren't reading TMZ. Pray for them is fine, but I don't need to know about it.
