Sometimes I feel like all I'm doing these days is delivering bad news.This weekend I got a phone call from a friend saying that the former Blink 182 drummer was killed in a plane crash. My mouth fell open from shock, but here’s what actually happened...
Travis Barker and Adam “DJ AM” Goldstein were taking off from Columbia Metropolitan Airport in a small jet when a tire blew. The crew was unable to reject the takeoff and the plane ran off the end of the runway, over a highway, and crashed into a berm. An eye witness on the news over the weekend said they saw two men stumble away from the wreckage and that they were badly burned. These two men were Travis and Adam. They are currently being treated for second- and third-degree burns, but are expected to fully recover. Unfortunately, the 2 crewmen and 2 passengers did not survive the crash.
Travis and Adam had just played a free outdoor concert in the Five Points District on Friday night and were headed back to Van Nuys, CA. -K
