There are now details being released as to how former Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker and DJ AM both managed to survive their plane crash where the other four passengers sadly lost their lives. Barker and DJ AM real name Adam Goldstein explained how they managed to climb onto the wing of the Learjet.
Both men told Lieutenant Josh Shumpert, of the South Congaree Police Department, that once they slid down the wing of the plane they had to jump on each other to put the flames out. Both men were in shock and pain, but they were worried about their friends who were still on the plane.
Doctors have said that both Travis Barker and DJ AM have second and third degree burns, but will make a full recover. The four who died are pilot Sarah Lemmon, 31; co-pilot James Bland, 52, Barker’s assistant, Chris Baker, 29, and bodyguard, Charles Still, 25.

How about you get your head out of your ass.

Yes, because obviously after being violently thrown through a cabin in a fiery plane crash it’s completely believable that you’d ignore your survival instincts and stay on board, using your magical I-can-see-through-and-breathe-smoke powers to save the others. You wouldn’t just try to, oh I don’t know, survive.
You’re a moron.

You have to be kidding me… what a stupid comment. With third degree burns and a plane ingulfed in flames it would be completely unreasonable for anyone to blame them for not going back for the others who were most definately dead by that point anyway.

^^ Because, you know, running back onto a plane engulfed in flames would be an easy decision to make.
I’m sure that they’re both haunted by the sounds they heard that night, and forever will be. Don’t be so quick to judge.

This is to anonymous: You are the epitome of a true cowrd & liberal you moron! How could they save the other four when they were fighting to put out the fire burning them?? You will never know what burning alive feels like so just shut up about Barker & AM leaving their friends behind. There was NOTHING that THEY could do to save them you idiot.
Losers on the net passing judgement,what a cliche. God speed to Travis & Adam in their healing & faith. RIP to the the ones that perished. AMEN

Why would they leave their friends on the plane in the first place?

This is in reply to the coward called anonymous: Have you ever been burned? Have you ever been on fire? Try it and see what your reaction would be. You do know that it happened at night right? Uh ok, then how the helll would they be able to see where their friends were let alone rescue them, oh and whilst ON FIRE. You are an a**hole. ANd I’m not a fan of these 2 guys, just a caring human. Grow a heart you lousy excuse for a person.
