Travis Barker, DJ AM Critical After Plane Crash

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.

68. Found out a bunch of more info on CNN and other news websites, but glad to see TMZ has at least something. The 4 people who were killed were the pilot (female) co-pilot (male) Travis' bodygaurd Charles Still and Travis' assistant Chris Baker. They were on they're way back to California because Chris' wife was going into labor. Many prayers to everyone's families involved and hope Travis and DJ AM can recover from this. More prayers to Chris' baby born this morning from what I've heard.

69. WHY people cannot read a story and comprehend what is in it, is beyond me! Regarding their PERSONAL MEDICAL INFORMATION: TMZ or anyone else should NEVER have access to it. That said, someone in their camp must have released some information, and it is as below:

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.

70. PER the MD who is attending them at the ATL, GA hospital:

Dr Mullins said both the survivors had suffered second and third-degree burns in the crash, which took place just before midnight local time on Friday.

Barker, 32, was burned on his torso and lower body while DJ AM - real name Adam Goldstein - was burned on his hands and part of his head, the doctor added.

"Anybody who can survive a plane crash is pretty lucky," he added.

They are both still in a critical but stable condition in hospital in Augusta, Georgia, Dr Fred Mullins said.

He said their injuries could take up to a year to heal.

72. Although TMZ is known for you unusual antics, this is serious. I have been burnt from a fire and that s**t hurts immensely.
I am not a star crazed person I am responding becasue one more time this is an oppoturnity to remind each other were all human no matter how we get paid. Think good thoughts for him and his family for all 6 of them what a horrible way to die and a painful way to live. lets hope for the best recovery, and lets leave the jokes off to the side, It's never to late for your company to change your ways and educate the public and not propagate drama, we all have jobs to do right? it's funny til someone gets there legs burnt off.

75. I am praying for both families Ever since Travis and Shanna did their reality show I fell in love with him and his family. Godspeed to DJ AM and Travis in their recovery. I hope this will put things in perspective for Shanna and help her realize that we can lose the ones we love at any moment and its so very impotant to appreciate and love them in the here and now.
