As we reported earlier, Travis Barker and celebrity music spinner, DJ AM were critically injured after their Learjet 60 crashed during takeoff from South Carolina's Columbia Metropolitan Airport, just before midnight on Friday. The plane was headed for Van Nuys, CA.
The former Blink 182 drummer, Baker, and DJ AM are in critical condition and being treated for severe burns at an Augusta, Georgia burn center.
Barker was transported by ground to the burn facility from the site of the crash.
DJ AM was airlifted.
Four people died in the crash.
The deceased have been identified as pilot Sarah Lemmon, 31, of Anaheim Hills, CA co-pilot James Bland, 52, of Carlsbad, CA, Chris Baker, 29, of Studio City, CA, and Charles Still, 25 of Los Angeles, CA.
Chris was Travis's assistant.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to their families.
The plane crash is still under investigation, however, during a press conference late Saturday morning a spokeswoman for the National Transportation Safety Board revealed that the plane overran the airstrip and proceeded to run into a number of the airport's lights and antenna.
Air traffic controllers reportedly "saw sparks coming from the runway" before the crash. Investigators don't know if that was from the aircraft or its engines.
A South Carolina resident named William Owens was driving down a highway next to the airport when he said he saw a fireball go across the road. He told local TV station WIS News 10:
"I didn't know what I had seen — it was maybe 800 feet in front of me, but as I approached it closer though I made out a fire. By then I was able to see the tail of the jet and I recognized it as a jet," Owens said.
Owens then described what he saw as he tried to make it to the wreckage.
"It's in flames and the fuel is running across the road and I had to cross the fuel to get to the two guys that seemed to have been dumped on the highway," Owens said.
Owens said the two men (Travis and DJ AM!) were running around and stripping down to extinguish themselves. He then asked the men if there was anyone else on board the plane and they said four more were with them.
"We turned to the jet to try and see if there was anything we could do, but immediately, there was nothing anyone could do," Owens said.
Travis and AM were in Columbia, South Carolina Friday night for a T-Mobile sponsored concert at Five Points, a popular shopping district.
Musicians Perry Farrell and Gavin DeGraw were also part of the festivities. Their reps confirmed to us that they WERE NOT on the plane that crashed.
So sad, sad, sad. --Message edité par seniorita le 2008-09-20 12:50:36--

TMZ has learned 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 and is being tended to right now.
We're also told the tragedy is all the worse because one of the passengers who died, Chris Baker, Travis' assistant on "Meet the Barkers," was married recently and has a new baby.

Un des morts, l'assistant de Travis Barker, venait de ce marié et était nouvellement père d'un petit bébé.
Associated Press a dit que Travis serais mort à l'hopital suite à ses blessures mais il parait que c'est pas vrai. Moi perso je m'inquiète plus de DJ AM, ca va être dur de survivre à des blessures au visage
L'ex de Travis, Shawna Moakler, est parti à son chevet. Je me demande si l'ex fiancé de DJ AM, Nicole Richie, va en faire de même ?

Vraiment, j'espère que tout va bien aller pour lui, il doit tellement souffrir..
Ça va être vraiment dure à vivre pour lui et le pire dans tout ça, c'est que lorsqu'il va sortir de l'hôpital tous les paparazzis vont être après lui à le mitrailler avec leur kodak et leur questions...
Bon courage à lui.

Her beau Joel Madden "knows Travis and also feels terrible and hopes they recover. This is terrible news for both of them."
Meanwhile, Shanna Moakler, Barker's ex, "is devastated and in total shock. It just hit her," another source tells Us.
The pal says she is hopping in a plane to be by his side.
Says the source: "Shanna is freaking and in panic mode right now."

Tragic Twist In Jet Crash -- Why They Flew
Travis Barker's assistant wanted to get home in time for his pregnant wife to give birth.
We've now learned why Barker and his friends decided to get on that doomed Learjet in South Carolina late last night, and the explanation can only be described as a horribly cruel twist of fate.
It all started some time yesterday, when Barker's assistant, Chris Baker, told the guys that his wife was going into labor. Barker told him that he would do everything in his power to get Baker back to the hospital in time.
The quickest way back to Van Nuys was that Learjet. We're told Barker usually won't fly on private jets, but made an exception for what was supposed to be one of the happiest moments of Baker's life.
The plane crashed shortly after midnight, killing four people -- including Chris Baker. Baker's wife went into labor early this morning.

je trouve cela trop triste. J'ai suivi assidûment la téléréalité de Shanna et Travis, à l'époque où ils étaient ensemble et on le voit tout le long pendant la série.
trop triste pour sa femme et son enfant également.
