News broke today that the plane crash that killed four people, and severely burned Travis Barker and DJ AM, aka Adam Goldstein, may have been caused by a blown tire. Here’s more:

Federal aviation officials are saying the tires on the doomed Learjet that crashed last month in South Carolina shredded as the plane ran out of runway.

The crash killed four people and injured former Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and celebrity disc jockey DJ AM.

The National Transportation Safety Board said Wednesday that very little rubber was left on the jet’s wheels and the brakes were severely damaged when the plane crashed on takeoff just before midnight Sept. 19.

The plane’s cockpit voice recorder has indicated that crew members thought a tire blew as they hurtled down the runway before failing to abort the takeoff.

Barker and DJ AM suffered severe burns in the crash. Both have been released from the hospital are expected to fully recover.

A blown tire is what caused the fiery Concorde plane accident just before they retired those aircraft.

The blown tire is not new. Investigators are just now making this the official cause of the accident.

Travis Barker checked out of the Grossman Burn Center in Los Angeles yesterday. He’s now home where he will continue to heal, and best of all he can see his kids more often.

Travis Barker who is about to undergo surgery number 7 for the burns he got from his plane crash last month, thanked fans in a blog post, and also said not to believe the rumors being spread by his ex wife Shanna Moakler. Travis wrote:

Despite any rumors you might have heard via my EX-wife Shanna Moakler, who I have not seen since the week I checked in, Ive been treated amazingly well, both here in LA and in Georgia. The hospitals Ive been treated at are THE BEST.

Get well soon Travis. Don’t let Shanna keep you from getting some much need rest. We’re sending positive thoughts your way.

Travis Barker is finally speaking out the horrible plane crash he was involved in last month that kill four people. Travis said:

"I hate planes. My biggest fear ever is to be involved in a plane crash, so when that happened … well, I’m just thankful to be alive! I’m just grateful to be here at all."

"I am doing the best I can possibly be. I’m so anxious to get out of here. …I’ve just been in surgery after surgery. I have third degree burns basically from my feet up to my waist and both hands. One of my hands was second degree burns and one was third degree burns. I’m trying to have a quick recovery and play the drums again and be able to hold my kids again. [Barker has two children, Landon, 5, and Alabama, 2, with Shanna Moakler.] I’m going nuts not being able to see them and spend time with them!"

"I need protein from food rather than just protein supplements. I changed my diet. I would do anything I possibly could if they said like, ’There’s a possibility you might heal faster if you do eat meat or just change your eating habits.’ So I did. I don’t regret it at all, I feel so much better."

Travis is at the Grossman Burn Center in Los Angeles, and is due to get out in about 2 weeks. Travis used to be a strict vegetarian, but now he’s eating meat. The best meat is fish, but chicken is okay too. Of course, soy milk, and other soy products are excellent sources of protein, and a lot of other goodness too.
