Recovery Travel: Details Emerge On Barker/ AM Crash
September 24, 2008 at 8:45 AM | 0 Comments
DJ AM and Travis Barker are still recovering in an Augusta, Georgia burn center after the Learjet they were on skidded off the runway and caught fire Friday night. The crash killed four people--two pilots and Barker's bodyguard and assistant--and is now believed to have been caused by a blown tire which impeded takeoff.
According to the coroner's report, the pilot and copilot died of smoke inhalation while Chris Baker and Charles Still, the assistant and bodyguard, were killed on crash impact. Barker and AM told police on the scene that they slid down the right wing of the plane in order to get away from the flames and helped each other to extinguish themselves.
Barker's ex-wife Shanna Moakler and AM's ex-girlfriend Mandy Moore have both arrived in Georgia and are visiting the burn center daily. With AM's parade of celebrity girlfriends--he has previously been linked to Nicole Richie, "Laguna Beach" star Kristin Cavallari and "Gossip Girl" guest star Michelle Trachtenberg--the star wattage of South Carolina can only increase, even in tragedy.
