Two of the four who died late Friday were passengers and two were crew members, the National Transportation Safety Board said in a statement.
The NTSB has sent a Go Team to Columbia, South Carolina, to investigate the crash.
The Learjet 60 crashed on takeoff at the Columbia Metropolitan Airport at 11:53 p.m. Friday.
Beth Frits, spokeswoman at the Joseph Still Burn Center, in Augusta, Georgia, said Barker and Goldstein arrived at the hospital early Saturday. She said both men had “extensive burns.”

The burn center is the largest in the country, and the main one in the Southeast, she said. E-mail to a friend http://i.cdn.turner.com/cnn/.element/img/2.0/mosaic/util/email.gif

HOLY SHIT!

Wow that sucks

wow that plane was melted to shit.

travis is one h3ll of a drummer, probably thought he was dead

i wish this happened to john mayer instead.

This fucking sucks. I love Travis Barker. I hope he makes it…:frowning:

shitty.

haha

I’ve had enough Jack Johnson as welllllllll

You shut your mouth right now mister!

John Mayer and Jack Johnson just cannot be compared.

You’re right, John Mayer actually had a decent blues career, plus, he can actually play…

Jack Johnson is like John Mayer’s lite, lets hold hands, mk2.

We don’t need anymore of this bullshit, 3 chord progressions.

John Mayer is a fucking faggot. Jack Johnson does alot with his career besides try to make money and use his celebrity status to get chicks.

(I have friends that grew up in the same area where Jack Johnson lives and he, and his wife, are environmentalists like whoa. They raise a ton of money for to go towards that stuff)

I’d compare John Mayer to Jason Mraz, not Jack Johnson.

holy fuck.

i read this and my stomach dropped, i thought they were gonna say travis died in the crash.

wow.

holy shit that sucks!..

he’s a good drummer, i like him

I don’t like him. better him than someone else…

BUT I do not wish anything like this on anyone

hopefully he pulls through, between those tats and burns he will look like a mess

he is an awesome drummer, his soulja boy mix was sick, his drumming in dope boyz with game is sick too… i was gonna say how is he gonna look wit the burns, and tats will obviously be fucked… hope all is well

Why does it seem that planes kill most of the decent musicians, Why cant we just get rid of the shitty ones.

Hope he makes it

oh wow that sucks.

Listening to the radio says Barker was burned from the waist down and will make a full recovery. DJ AM was burnt on the face they said and should also make a recovery.

this really sucks, hope he makes it
