Travis Barker and DJ AM injured in Fatal crash


"Former Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and Adam Goldstein, known as celebrity DJ AM, were critically injured in a fiery Learjet crash in South Carolina that killed four people, authorities said today.

The Learjet was taking off shortly before midnight Friday with six people aboard, including two crew members, when air traffic controllers saw sparks. The plane, which was en route to Van Nuys airport, veered off the end of the runway, rolled through a fence and crashed on a nearby road...

The Lexington County coroner said today that pilot Sarah Lemmon of Anaheim Hills and copilot James Bland of Carlsbad died. Also killed were passengers Chris Baker, 29, of Studio City, and Charles Still, 25, of Los Angeles.

At the crash site today, the air was still heavy with the odor of jet fuel. A trail of black soot led off a runway, across a five-lane road next to the airport and up an embankment. The nose of the aircraft was gone and the roof was missing from two-thirds of the charred plane..." -AP

This is so tragic to me, I've met Travis and AM before and they are both incredibly sweet guys. and what gets me even more is that Chris Baker was among the passengers killed, Chris was Travis' assistant whom I'd met a couple of times at a +44 show and at Disneyland and he was a really nice kid. This is such a crazy accident and the fact that the only survivors were Travis and AM is shocking.

I just read this on Perez, from a resident who was passing the accident as it occured

"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 said.

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.

Owens said the two men (Travis and DJ AM!) were running around and stripping down 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," Owens said.


Travis and DJ AM are in critical condition and being treated for severe burns at an Augusta, Georgia burn center.

Spaghetti Cat Love

All the Chemicals Inside

Have you ever heard a song that touched some weird blocked off part of you. Kathy and Alicia had been bumping this anonymous song casually for a few weeks, so I decided to download it along with the rest of the cd. Let me tell you, Thriving Ivory could possibly be the best band Ive ever listened to. Im playing the tracks on my iPod as I lay in bed, hoping i'll drift off... instead I'm up til 330a looping em over and over. Seriously. I'm really pumped about this band and I figure this is the perfect place to share it, so check it out, maybe you'll dig it as much as i do.




PS since I haven't done a movie review in a while...
