Quick Thinking Saved AM and Travis

Filed under: DJ A.M. > Travis Barker

travisam.jpg

A policeman on the scene of the tragic accident that seriously injured/burned DJ AM and Travis Barker revealed how the duo were able to escape the flame-engulfed plane, "[Travis and Adam] told me that they slid down the wing on the right side of the plane."

The cop also revealed that the two were on fire and that they, "tackled each other and put each other out."

He went on to say that when he got to the site Travis and AM were pacing and in shock.

And, contrary to other reports, the official said the pair weren't naked.

Though shirtless, Travis had on shorts, a sock and his black hat on. AM still had his boxer shorts on.

The pair have been undergoing procedures this week to treat their burns.

We wish the two a speedy recovery!

    FRIST! Get ready for a stream of repetitive "how tragic" "thank god" comments starting NOW!

    Mario Pendeja ACTUALLY thinks the movie W. is going to be bad! He couldn't be more wrong, it looks like it's gonna rank up there with There Will Be Blood and The Darjeeling Limited. Let's boycott this loser.
    Search YouTube: Giuliani Responds to Sarah Palin Watching Tina Fey on SNL and then go sample on iTunes Miniature Tigers - Tell It to the Volcano, it's one of the best albums of the year and the album cover is my avatar.
    As much as you guys think Mario reads your comments, he DOESN'T! He blogs all day and then goes to bed. He's a fucking vampire!

  21. 21

    i hope they do better soon. my prayers are with them & theyre families.



  22. 22

    Don't ride on planes. Planes are very dangerous and especially lately considering that the country is broke, do you really think
    the planes are being inspected, come on!



  23. 23

    I can't beleive how intellectually circumsized you all are.. geezzzz..

    Hugs and kisses♥



  25. 25

    When I am vice-president, I will do so much for this country. Since I have so many children, I will want to build a wonderful
    America for the future of everyone's children. I'm praying for you
    guys everyday.

  27. 27

    Re: Louloubelle – Maybe because the plane was on fire?



  28. 28

    Perez,
    If you get the chance, you should do something for them. I'll go with you to cheer them up. Call me honey♥



  29. 29

    They are now soul mates, and joined at the proverbial hip for life.



  30. 30

    I hope their packages didn't get damaged. I wish you all the luck in recovery.



  31. 31

    perez, what's the address that we can send them a card?



  32. 32

    it's so sad to hear this poor people.

    Visit cakefarts for more of the recovery process



  33. 33

    They should have tried to save the others. They should do everything and giev a lot of money to those poor families.



  34. 34

    i wish them a speedy recovery!

    Re: Louloubelle – What should they have done, crawl back into a burning airplane? Good plan, moron.

    Glad they're going to be OK.

  36. SKB says – reply to this


    36

    Re: TOUCANSAM – Before they were found? Oh, they were BURNING. Which is, you know, a really fucking good reason to strip down, you jerk.

  37. SKB says – reply to this


    37

    Re: yovovi – Would you crawl into a burning airplane? Um, doubtful. Jet fuel & all… Why should they be giving money? Was it their faults the plane crashed???



  38. 38

    Re: Perez is a Balding Hasbeen – your a douche bag I hope you start on fire and shreek in pain and loved ones fear for your health and well being choke a cock!



  39. 39

    Re: Pocahontas
    You're more likely to die in a car crash than in a plane crash.
    Statistically, car crashes kill more people every year.
    Most likely because planes are probably not going to be driven by some drunk, reckless person. And if they are, then there's something wrong with the way they train pilots these days.



  40. 40

    Everyone leaving rude and mean comments will get what's coming to them. You're all ignorant assholes that have nothing better to do with your lives than come on here and start a controversy. SO WHAT if they were famous, or if he has tattoos, or whatever the fuck your reason is for hating him/them. They were in a PLANE CRASH. 4 people DIED. Fucking give respect to their families. Travis Barker is one of THE coolest guys out there. He's amazingly nice and he has done nothing to any of you to deserve the hateful comments that are spewing from most of you. To everyone who has to be immature and say "Hmm I wonder why they didn't have clothes on.." WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK? They were burning! The cop didn't get there RIGHT as the plane crashed, you idiots, so of course they're already going to be stripped down. And would you crawl into an already jet fuel covered, burning plane to save your friends? I doubt it. They probably died on impact. The audacity some of you have to leave these comments is beyond me.



  41. 41

    They were both naked giving bj's to the pilots, it's why the plane crashed. Barker can write an album called "my balls be burnin" put a hip-hop beat on it and you've got yourself a hit! think positive people!.



  42. 42

    TRAVIS, DJ AM, MAN… HOPE BOTH OF U FEEL BETTER!!! GET WELL SOON! I KNOW HOW IT IS TO HAVE BURNS ON UR BODY!!! VERY UNCOMFORTABLE!!!!! STAY STRONG…..



  43. 43

    The friends died of head trauma so there wouldnt have been a reason for them to try to save anyone.



  44. 44

    I HEARD NICOLE RITCHIE WANTED TO GO SEE DJ AM, BUT HER SELFISH BABY DADDY SAID IT WOULDN'T LOOK GOOD FOR HIM.



  45. 45

    I'll keep that in mind - but I hope I'm never in a situation like that. I'll probably just pass out from shock and that'll be the end of me!



  46. 46

    Not many ordinary people would have thought of doing what they did, which is why I believe a lot of celebrities are where they are because they are blessed by God.



  47. 47

    Re: songbird

    "Everyone leaving rude and mean comments will get what's coming to them."

    - I totally agree.



  48. 48

    hahaha im sure if these idiots would of burned to death no one would of cared hahahaha, and now they wanna compare this shit to real tragedies like buddy holly and company.



  49. 49

    Re: PoisonBitchyIvy – yeah i heard travid was burned from the waist down…



  50. 50

    i meant travis



  51. 51

    After everything they have been through…does it matter if they were naked or not? My God, who cares if they were or not? It is all so very sad.



  52. 52

    Re: your mom should of swallowed – you are a rotten human being laughing at tragedy people died do the world a favor shoot yourself in the head



  53. 53

    Re: Louloubelle – don't act like you know exactly wtf happened. the other 4 didn't die in the fire, they died because of the actual crash, you idiot. pay attention. do you really think travis would "just pace around" and not help the other people? especially lil chris, who was like part of his family and also his best friend. people are so fucking ignorant these days.

    ANYWAY, i hope those two have a speedy recovery. i was at their show friday night in columbia, south carolina and i can't even begin to say how amazing and talented they are. RIP lil chris, che, james, and sarah.



  54. 54

    I guarantee you they have a special bond for the rest of their lives….lucky lucky dudes!!!!



  55. 55

    god bless em



  56. 56

    That is some scarey shit. i wish them the best recovery. and my prayers r with the ones lost and their families.



  57. 57

    That's awesome. They must be close to save each other. I hope they are doing well. Glad that they survived.



  58. 58

  60. 60

    This is so sad. Im sure we all wish them both a speedy recovery.
    And sympathies to those who lost loved ones.
    xox



  61. 61

    Re: Louloubelle – because the wreck was burning?
    once they left they had no time to turn back. you can't say what happened and how the scenerie was, so maybe they thought there was a way to escape and then help, or they thought the others would follow, but i'm sure they will hate temselves for the rest of their lives for not helping, but also i'm sure that if they'd tried, they would have been burned, too.
    Re: Perez is a Balding Hasbeen – you're stupid, aren't you? maybe you deserve to die? would be better for the world - stupidity is too common these days.
    Re: yourazzzuckzbuttermilk
    mhm, sorry, you're reading and defending a gay blog but are going to vote mccain and this psychotic chick who is soon to be your president? sorry, but i think that's really funny.



  62. 62

    AAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  64. 64

    That'll teach you not to wear the proper clothing when on an airplane.



  65. 65

    Re: redhead
    Imagine trying to pee with a burnt peepee, that sucks.



  66. 66

    Re: Louloubelle – Two died of blunt force trauma.. So my guess is; they where allready dead when travis and dj jumped.



  67. 67

    Re: songbird – Really songbird is that true. Well what gets to me is why you would care about 2 morons who don't give a fuck about you or anything that happens to you.

    Re: tracker – I'm not pulling for them. I don't give a fuck about 2 overpaid losers who don't give a fuck about me.

    Re: fantomas
    I say alot of shit..
    can you believe me?
    Nov. 4th. I will decide if I'm voting for or against mccain.
    Obama hasn't given me anything lately to be excited about.
    If he plans on using Hilary for anything in his government,
    NOW WOULD BE THE TIME FOR HIM TO SPEAK THE HELL UP.
    40 SOME DAYS LEFT TILL ELECTION..
    EXCITE ME OBAMA
    PLEASE

    STOP, DROP AND ROLL PEOPLE!!!!

  72. D-Bag says – reply to this


    72

    Since when are people like this considered "celebrities" and newsworthy? The tattooed guy was once the drummer in a band named "Blink 182" and the other one is a DJ who dated Nicole Richie. That's it. Pathetic?



  73. 73

    Except that story contradicts eyewitness reports. You know the people who were there when the plane came skidding across the highway, not the cops who showed up later or the two guys who were on fire. Seems a little fishy to me that those two escaped while the other two in the passenger area did not, I guess they were just lucky.



  74. 74

    Re: songbird – THANK YOU!!!



  75. 75

    Who cares if they did or didn't have clothes on…they got out of the f-ing fire! Why report such BS. Even if the headline said, "AM and Barker found naked after accident." Well, THANK GOD! It could be "AM and Barker found DEAD & NAKED." Not sure what the whole point of clothes or no clothes has to do with anything?



  76. 76

    who cares if they were naked, eventhough they werent, at least they're alive! It is a true miracle.



  77. 77

    Re: your mom should of swallowed – Your Crazy congrats on being a scarry worthless waste of space big talk on the internet man, Im assuming you have issues with your manhood to bad for you maybe someone will love for whats on the inside…no probly not LOSER



  78. 78

    My Uncle died at the same hospital these two young men are at. Not because of the care at the hospital. The team at the hospital were outstanding and gave my uncle excellent care for 3 weeks before he passed away. My Uncle was lifted in a boom box working on a sign in Myrtle Beach where he lived, and an electric mishap caught him on fire and while trying to put himself out, he fell from the boom box onto the ground and was still on fire. It was a terrifying and horrible accident. It is a horrific thing to be literally on fire and trying to put the flames out on your own burning body.

    I wish these two men, who I really follow in their careers and admire (Travis is amazingggg)…..I pray very much for a very quick recovery. I pray for their mental injuries as well…..having to mourn their friends and also trying to handle the pain of the wreck. God bless you both and your families.



  79. 79

    Goodspeed

    Wish them the best!!!!! Get well soon.
