Travis Barker has been released from the Joseph M. Still Burn Center at Doctors Hospital in Augusta, Georgia, where he received treatment for burns he got from a plane accident on September 20. His spokeswoman, Beth Frits, said:

"Travis is in good condition and was discharged this morning."

Travis is expected to return to Los Angeles, but there is no word yet if he is flying.

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 (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.
