    Yeah, so scary. I wonder if they got burned really bad. Either way, lucky to be alive.

    Fatalities In Travis Barker Jet Crash Identified
    Saturday, Sep 20, 2008 9:23AM

    Update - South Carolina officials say four California residents died in the fiery Learjet crash that also critically injured former Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and celebrity DJ AM.
    The Lexington County coroner said Saturday that pilot Sarah Lemmon of Anaheim Hills and co-pilot James Bland of Carlsbad died. Also killed were passengers Chris Baker, 29, of Studio City, and Charles Still, 25, of Los Angeles.
    Authorities say the plane carrying six people was departing shortly before midnight Friday when air traffic controllers reporting seeing sparks. The plane headed for Van Nuys, Calif., went off a runway, through a fence and crashed on a nearby road.

    So sad.. I just read in an update that Chris Baker just recently got married and had a baby.. Such a tragedy. Also I read that Travis is burned from the waist down, and DJ AM was badly burned in the face..

    My thoughts are with them.

    That's horrible....News here says DJ AM and Travis Barker have "extensive" burns. That's like the worst type of injury ever....

    Here's hoping they recover..

    Medical question here. Anyone know if all of Travis's tattoos help/hurt/will be ruined because of the burns??

    I'm quite sure it doesn't help or hurt when you have a burn.. but ruined.. likely. When you are burned it depends on how deep the burn goes, but a lot of times the skin is burned through many many layers of skin.

    When my brother was really sick, he was in a burn unit for 3 weeks, and some of the things I saw there were quite unimaginable. I really really feel for the people that have to be in a burn unit for any incident, especially one that leaves you in critical condition.

    I would rather have passed away then be burned so badly.....I don't think they were the lucky ones....

    Of course Travis has children so people with children feel different about these kind of things....either way it is so sad.

    TERRIBLE!! :(

    i hope you are referring to the day the music died and not aliyah, that "human being" thought she knew more than the pilot did, and ordered him to take all her luggage.

    This makes me ill :(

    "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."


    What a fucking nightmare. That's SO horrible. That poor family.

    A tragic story.


    GS, I don't think I could even enter a burn unit. :( :o The recovery from severe burns is an unbearable pain that I can't even imagine. I am not sure I would survive something like that... or that I would want to.

    When my brother lost all of his skin (And he lost 99%) it was on the same level as a burn and had to be treated exactly like a burn would be) they had to knock him out because they said he would have gone into shock and died from the extreme pain.

    The burn unit was just horrible. Its an imagine that will be forever implanted in my brain. People screaming all day long in pain. I wouldn't wish that on the worst person in the world.

    It's important to remember that while the pain is the worst thing ever, people do recover from burns and thats why its important to not give up.
