New Details on How Travis Barker and DJ AM Survived Plane Crash
How did Travis Barker and DJ AM (real name: Adam Goldstein) survive the plane crash that killed four people and left them with second- and third-degree burns?
"[Travis and Adam] told me that they slid down the wing on the right side of the plane," Lieut. Josh Shumpert of the South Congaree Police Department tells PEOPLE. Shumpert was one of the second responders at the scene – Congaree is the town outside of Columbia, S.C. – after the airport police arrived.
"They said they were on fire," adds Shumpert, whose patrol car's dashboard camera caught video of the fiery aftermath, "and that they tackled each other and put each other out."
"When I got there they were on the side of the road," says Shumpert. "They were pacing and in shock."
"Travis was very shaken up," he says, noting that Barker was given Gatorade after he asked for some water.
According to the lieutenant, the pair weren't naked, contrary to eyewitness statements.
"Travis was wearing some kind of shorts and no shirt," says Shumpert, adding that Goldstein was wearing shorts or boxers as well. "Travis had one sock on. And a black hat on his head."
Quick Thinking
The fast reactions of the former Blink 182 drummer Barker, 32, and Goldstein, 35, gave them a good chance of a full recovery."Since both Barker and Goldstein are in overall good health and didn't suffer from any other crash-related complications, a full recovery is expected," said Dr. Fred Mullins of the Joseph M. Still Burn Center at Doctors' Hospital in Augusta at a Sunday morning press conference.
Mullins added that recovery from such burns can take as long as a year.

Gotta love some of the lines in there:
"wearing some kind of shorts and no shirt..."
"According to the lieutenant, the pair weren't naked..."
"Barker was given Gatorade after he asked for some water..."- who cares if they were naked. they were being burned alive. I'd rip all my shit off too.dbloc

I know. I couldn't imagine going through that. I'm always very tense during take-offs and landings.
--That line I quoted above, "some kind of shorts..." is just cracking me up. What in fact was he wearing that, to the observer, looked enough like shorts to be classified as "some kind" of them, but had some difference, enough to the point that they might not actually be "real" shorts? Werey the made out of wood? Were they electric? Were they robotically animated and changing in length constantly from knee-length, to full pants, to short tennis shorts? I want to know!

Update
"Both travis barker and adam goldstein (dj am) are currently being treated for second and third degree burns. Barker sufferd from burns on his torso and lower body and Goldstein sufferd from burns on his arm, and a portion of his scalp. Since both Barker and Goldstein are in overall good health and didn't suffer from any other crash related complications each anticipates a full recovery through healing and rehabilitation.
No further statements will be made at this time and an update of their recovery may be avaliable at the end of the week via their representation.

The National Transportation Safety Board has determined that the crash of the Lear jet in South Carolina late Saturday night -- which killed four people and left Travis Barker and DJ AM burned and in critical condition -- may have been caused by a tire blow out.
Goodyear, the tire's manufacturer, has released a statement.
"We have been contacted by the [National Transportation Safety Board] and will cooperate fully with its investigation. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the victims of this accident."
The Charlotte Observer reports that the cockpit recording revealed that the crew members piloting the plane thought they heard a tire blow as they hurtled down the runway and struggled to stop the plane, a federal safety official said Sunday.
National Transportation Safety Board member Debbie Hersman said a cockpit voice recording of the Friday night crash indicates the crew tried to abort the takeoff, but then signaled the efforts were failing.
"The crew reacted to a sound that was consistent with a tire blowout," Hersman told reporters.
Barker and DJ AM (Adam Goldstein) are still in a burn unit in Augusta, Ga. But the young men are expected to make full recoveries.

ok, well who said burns on 90% of his body? I just read he gets outta the hospital in 2 weeks, if you have 90% of your body burned, you don't leave for months.
