Posted Sep 21st 2008 8:36AM by TMZ Staff

A doctor has announced that Travis Barker and DJ AM are expected to have a full recovery after yesterday's horrific plane crash.

Barker and Adam "DJ AM" Goldstein were severely burned yesterday when their Learjet crashed before takeoff from a Columbia, South Carolina airport. The crash killed four people, including Barker's assistant Chris Baker.

Dr. Fred Mullins, medical director of the Joseph M. Still Burn Center, said both Travis and Adam suffered second and third-degree burns. Mullins said Barker's torso and Adam's arm and part of his head were burned.

61. oh man, "no god" get over it already. WE GET IT. YOU DON'T BELIEVE. Good for you. Live your life and stop trying to convince us. We don't care what you think and it's obvious, no matter how hard you try, you are not going to change our views. Now go make yourself some popcorn and watch something on TV like good little athiest.

62. The Curb Your God T Shirt that is sold and is created by a Daniel Young, and its a politcal statement on Bill Moyers site it explains the T Shirt as:

"This T-shirt illustrates the designer's personal objections to the worldwide increase in violence and intolerance based on so-called divine instructions". I think it is talkng more about terrorists doing stuff in the name of their Gods, etc. It is not an attack on religion. They sell the T Shirt on line, just google the phrase Curb Your God. I dont think Mr. Barker was trying to be anti-religion.

69. I find it ironic that Travis Barker was wearing a shirt that said CURB YOUR GOD. I guess God got the last word. Hope they both change their lives for the better.

70. If the doctors put DJ AM in a medical induced coma, then his burns are more serious than what they're reporting.

75. Look,nobody deserves to have something horrible happen to them. I don't care what their beliefs are and I don't care who they are dating. What happened was terrible and I hope that they all recover.
