DJ AM Makes Progress

A source from Augusta, Ga., where DJ AM is being treated at a burn center tells us he is "ambulatory and in good spirits."

No word on Travis Barker. Both were severely burned Friday night after a plane crash that killed four. We're told both DJ AM and Travis are expected to make a full recovery.

The NTSB says crew members told the tower they heard a tire burst and tried avoiding takeoff. The plane overran the runway and burst into flames after hitting an embankment.

TMZ has placed calls to Goodyear and Learjet, identified as the makers of the tire and the plane that crashed. So far, no response.

Thanks for the update TMZ. Hope they get better and better. Too bad it won't be long before the idiots start up again with their childish commentary. Sad and what a waste of their time. But thanks again for the update. Keep it coming. Thinking of them.

May God have mercy on them and bless them in this difficult time.

And may God bless us all because we will have to endure the added attention, popularity and fame that these two will most certainly enjoy once they fully recover. Even though neither has much of any type of talent.

Hmmmm.... Last we all heard, AM was in a doctor induced coma...now all of the sudden he's ambulatory?? If this is true, THANK GOD, but that information does not site who the source is. Regardless, my thoughts and well wishes are with AM & Travis...my deepest sympathies are with the victims, their family & friends of those that did not survive.
Let's pray for a full & speedy recovery!!!

Wow, this is much better than what was reported on DJ AM yesterday. I hope his condition continues to improve quickly and as painless as possible. I am praying for you, Adam(you too Travis!).

This is why jets have a V1 speed callout during takeoff - if something happens after the aircraft reaches V1, that aircraft is supposed to take off no matter what. Attempts to slow the airplane down and remain on the runway beyond V1 speed will be futile.

Observer, was this pilot error? Or likely? I haven't heard. I would never fly in a small plane with a female pilot myself.

To Whadda Do Travis barker has far more musical talent then half of freaking hollywood. I'm a listener of his band +44 and he is an extremely talented individual. Why don't you shut up and goback to watching that filthy crap fest you call the hills with all the other ignorant whores.

To ryan Shhh Whaddo do probably thinks Miley Cyrus is a breathtakingly beautiful human being with real soul and real geniune talent, and that the girls from the Hills should peruse a career in music even if none of them can actually sing or do anything well. So be kind to him. NOT! Travis is a beautiful soul and this was a FREE concert unlike whatever musical acts Whaddo would go see.
