COLUMBIA, S.C. - Former Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and a popular disc jockey were critically injured in a Learjet crash in South Carolina that killed four people, authorities said Saturday.

Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen said the plane carrying six people was departing shortly before midnight Friday when air traffic controllers reporting seeing sparks. The plane went off a runway and crashed on a nearby road, she said.

Hospital spokeswoman Beth Frits said Barker and DJ AM, whose real name is Adam Goldstein, were in critical condition at a burn center in Augusta, Ga., about 75 miles southwest of Columbia.

NBC News reported that Barker, who also starred in MTV reality show "Meet the Barkers", had performed Friday night at an event alongside Perry Farrell, the former Jane's Addiction singer, as well as Gavin DeGraw and Goldstein.

The killed passengers and two crew members, all from California, were identified as 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, NBC News reported.

"It's absolutely terrible and tragic," Columbia Mayor Bob Coble said.
Bergen said the Lear 60 was headed to Van Nuys, California. She was unable to confirm the names of those on board.

Barker and Goldstein perform together under the name TRVSDJ-AM.
After Blink-182, Barker went on to form the rock band (+44) — pronounced "plus forty-four." He appeared in "Meet the Barkers" with former Miss USA Shanna Moakler, to whom he was married at the time. The show documented the former couple's lavish wedding and life.

Thats pretty damn awful, any word on the injuries sustained?

just checked around,

"Travis Barker has been burnt from the waist down, but he is expected to survive the plane crash whilst most of DJ AM's face has been burnt off and he's undergoing emergency surgery right now...

Chris Baker, Travis' assistant on "Meet the Barkers," who was married recently and had a baby only last month also passed away"

****---initial reaction to incident

doesn't sound good for him--he's just been involved in a plane crash and has severe burns

sometimes living is not always best if injuries are horrible-face melted off or something

RIP-Rest in peace to the victims

last sentence-hopefully tom de longe will realise that life is short and there is no point not speaking to mark or travis over something that happened ages ago. you know putting things into perspective.

Rumors on modlife (the AVA site) are, that tom wants to go see travis . tom hasnt spoken on the matter tho

Here's a link to some video from the scene,shortly after the plane crash.

Description of the video:

WOLO-TV put up the dash cam video from a police cruiser that responded to the scene of Travis Barker and DJ AM’s plane crash in South Carolina. You can see the fire from the wreckage and hear Travis crying for help on 911.

Coroners say that the two pilots died from smoke inhalation while the other two passengers died from impact related injuries.
