Travis Barker and DJ AM Plane Crash Caused by a Blown Tire

Hollywood Grind — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 18:33:32 +0000

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 Talks about Plane Crash

Hollywood Grind — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 00:43:49 +0000

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.

I flew once with a woman who created a documentary where she interviewed plane crash victims. She told me it was rare for anyone to ever survive a plane crash, and those that did usually didn’t remember much because it was so traumatic.

Travis Barker and DJ AM Almost Killed in Plane Crash

Hollywood Grind — Sat, 20 Sep 2008 17:20:30 +0000

Travis Barker and DJ AM (Adam Goldstein) were almost killed in Columbia, South Carolina when their lear jet attempted to take off, but crashed on the runway at Columbia Metropolitan Airport, killing four people, and severely injuring Barker and Goldstein. Barker and Goldstein were in Columbia Friday night as part of a concert in Columbia’s Five Points. Both Barker and Goldstein were transported to an Augusta, Georgia burn center, and are both listed in critical condition.

William Owens was driving down Highway 302 when he said he saw a fireball go across the road. He said:

"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 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 the two men (Barker and Goldstein) were in the road trying 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."

According to the National Transportation Safety Board, the plane took off at 11:53 pm Friday night heading to Van Nuys, CA. Officials say air traffic controllers reported seeing sparks after the plane started to leave.

Officials say six people were on board the plane when it impacted several lights on Runway 11 and crashed through the fence at the end of the runway. The plane crashed onto Highway 302.

Federal officials say two crew members and two passengers have been killed. Lexington County Coroner Harry Harman has identified all four victims from California. Harman says the pilot, Sarah Lemmon, 31, of Anaheim Hills, co-pilot James Bland, 52, of Carlsbad, Chris Baker, 29, of Studio City and Charles Still, 25, of Los Angeles all perished in the crash.

National Transportation Safety Board officials say the plane crashed just after take off at 11:53 p.m. Friday.

At this time, they say the flight was attempting to take off on Runway 11, but it skidded down the runway. It crashed through a perimeter fence, hit an antennae array and lights, then hit an embankment along Highway 302.

The fuselage of the plane was badly burned.

The two other performers from the Five Points concert, Gavin DeGraw and Perry Farrell, were not on the plane.

Hopefully Barker and Goldstein will survive their burns. This is terribly sad. Four people lost their lives.
