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.

If I may ask, how did he lose 99% of his skin if it wasn't via a burn?

"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.

that's a crazy story... I can't believe they were trying to make it home for a birth, makes me so sad.

I"m kind of worried right now, I build planes including learjets for a living and i'm praying right now that we didn't build that plane.

It is amazing, as some have said earlier, that the 2 famous people survived, and the 4 non-famous people lived. How you can be famous for playing CD's is beyond my understanding, but that's not the point. The freaky part for me is, I saw the clip on MSNBC this morning, and wondered what "famous" people would be on board? A learjet in SC at that hour? I figured it had to be someone famous, whether it be an athlete, musician, or CEO type. I had a very similar feeling when Cory Lidle crashed his plane into a bulding in NYC. I had a terrible feeling about there being someone famous involved, then I heard there was a pitcher from The Yankees involved. i remember hearing that it was Cory Lidle, and as horrible as it was, and as bad as this will sound, being bit relieved that it wasn't Mariano Rivera or Mike Mussina. That makes me a trrible person, I know. But i followed those guys for years.

I saw this story on the weekend. It is horrible. I read that Shanna Moakler (Travis' ex-wife and mother of his children) is by his bedside.
They released a clip from a police car's ( I think?) camera that showed the crash and they had audio of someone screaming, which is so horrific. It is horrible for those that passed and it seems downright miraculous Travis and AM were spared. I hope they are recovering and I said a prayer for them when I heard about it.

I used to work in a hospital. I remember being taken on a 'tour' of the floors before I started and they showed us the burn unit and yeah, it gave me the creeps too. That is one of my worst nightmares, and another is being in a plane crash, God forbid.

I just have to comment on this. This is such a disgusting thing to say. ANd if you're going to comment on someone, look up the story and get your facts straight. It was her overweight bodyguard and assistants that took too much baggage on the plane and insisted on rushing back to NY after they shot the video. She had nothing to do with it, and she wasn't that kind of person. She was an amazing talent and died tragically and for you to speak about it like that or to speak so ill of anyone in that nature, honestly... it's just wrong.

Hi Allie,

One of the wonderful things about our message pit is the ignore button. I've had that "person" on ignore for quite some time now, so I never have to read his negative posts unless someone quotes him.

As for Travis and DJ AM - I can't imagine the physical and emotional pain they must be experiencing. Keep your good thoughts and prayers going. I know I will.

Have a great night.
