TMZ has obtained a photo of Chris Baker just moments before he boarded the Learjet that crashed on takeoff.
Baker sent the cell phone photo at 11:22 ET, 31 minutes before the plane crashed. Baker e-mailed the photo to a friend with the text, "Go hard on the block."
Baker, Travis Barker's assistant, was one of the four people who died in the crash. The video of the jet was shot by Baker before he boarded.

5. TMZ, enough already, let these families grieve without knowing every single thing these people did in the last minutes. It helps no one. Have respect for the victims

13. That is SO sad. I have seen his myspace -- he was obviously very tight with Travis. He looked like he loved life. It is so depressing to see his pictures and know he is no longer alive.
Life is cruel sometimes.. VERY, very, very cruel.

15. Classy. Simply Classy.
You replace the video with Travis crying with this?!
Then you have the nerve to file it under "R.I.P."?
