Former Blink 182 drummer, Travis Barker and friend DJ AM were injured in a fatal plane crash before midnight on Friday. The Learjet 60 crashed during takeoff from South Carolina’s Columbia Metropolitan Airport.

Barker & DJ AM are said to be in critical condition, both being treated for severe burns at an Augusta, Georgia burn center.

The four other passengers on board perished.

The deceased have been identified as pilot Sarah Lemmon, 31, of Anaheim Hills, CA. Co-pilot James Bland, 52, of Carlsbad, CA, Chris Baker, 29, of Studio City, and Charles Still, 25 of Los Angeles, CA.

Chris Baker of Studio City was Travis’s assistant.

WIS NEWS 10, of South Carolina spoke with a witness who saw a fireball cross the road. The man said he didn’t know what it was, until he was able to identify the pieces as the tail of a jet.

Apparently, Barker & DJ AM were running around trying to estinquish themselves. They told witnesses that there were four others on board, but the wreck was horrible.

I can’t believe these two guys survived. They are incredibly lucky.

R.I.P. to those four passengers that lost their lives.
