Devastating Plane Crash Update

I kept hearing all sorts of rumors, so this is the real update:

Celebrity DJ AM, 35, and former Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, 32, suffered 2nd and 3rd degree burns as a result of a plane crash on Friday. Though both are expected to make a full recovery, Barkers’ assistant, Chris Baker, and bodyguard, Charles Still, as well as the plane’s pilot and co-pilot were killed.

The group was traveling by private Learjet from South Carolina to California late Friday night. They had just performed a free show in Columbia, SC. It now appears that a blown tire during takeoff caused the crash. When an attempt to abort takeoff didn’t work, the plane careened off the runway and burst into flames.
