Sad news to report.
DJ AM and Travis Barker are both in critical condition at the hospital after surviving a plane crash last night at 11:53 in South Carolina. The two were reportedly passengers on a private flight that took off from Columbia, SC, en route to Van Nuys.
As far as we know, Travis Barker has been burned from the waist down, and DJ AM’s face has been severely burned. They are both being treated right now. They are the only two passengers who survived, including Barker’s assistant on Meet The Barkers, Chris Baker, who just recently got married and has a new baby.
DJ AM and Travis reportedly survived the crash by jumping out of the door of the burning jet.
More details coming!
UPDATE: The Five Points Association has released a public statement.
The Five Points Association is deeply saddened this morning by the plane crash tragedy that occurred at the Columbia Metropolitan Airport last night. The association sends thoughts and prayers to the victims of the accident and their families.

Oh god this is just terrible. I hope Travis and AM are ok….the burns from the waist down don’t sound too good…neither does the burnt face. My prayers are with them. I feel for the others on the plane and their families. What a tragedy.
Sadness. My prayers and thoughts with all affected.
God bless you Travis and AM and may he give Travis’s family the strength to endure.
He’s finally out of the hospital now though. He even disobeyed doctor’s orders and visited his friend’s funeral. Glad to see he’s better though!
