DJ AM and Blink's Barker Badly Burned in Crash

2008_09_djamtrav.jpgFormer Blink 182 drummer and "Meet the Barkers" star Travis Barker and Adam "DJ AM" Goldstein are both in critical condition after being in a plane crash in South Carolina last night. The crash has left four others dead, including Barker's assistant, Chris Baker. Barker and Goldstein were heading back to California from Columbia, SC after performing in a free outdoor concert when their private jet went up in flames on the runway late last night. TMZ is reporting that Barker has been burned from the waist down, but he is expected to survive the plane crash while DJ AM's face was severely burned and is being tended to right now.

Does Barket have tattoos all over his lower half the way he does all over his upper? He should be fine if he does - no one will notice.

His tats cushioned his injuries i presume.

does the tattoos make has neck look longer or he just has a long neck?

Had their tastes not changed, Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie could have been on that plane. I hope these guys pull through but I fear for them with such horrible injuries.

I wish them all the best in their recovery, but, Um, who the hell are they?
