Former Blink 182 star Travis Barker, and celebrity record spinner DJ AM, aka Adam Goldstein, are in a critical but stable condition after being injured in a Learjet crash in Columbia on Friday.
The medic treating them, Dr Fred Mullins, said that both had suffered second and third degree burns in the crash, but are expected to make a full recovery. Barker's burns are on his torso and lower body, whilst Goldstein's are on his hands and head, and could take up to a year to heal. The doctor added: "Anybody who can survive a plane crash is pretty lucky".
Sadly, the remaining four people on board - two passengers, the pilot and co-pilot - were not lucky, and all died from their injuries. Officials have confirmed the plane came off the runway as it was taking off, coming to a stop engulfed in flames on the embankment of a nearby five lane motorway. Air traffic controllers had reported seeing sparks coming from the plane during the attempted take off.
Barker and DJ AM, who perform together as TRVSDJ-AM, had played at a free concert in Columbia before the incident.
