Travis Barker & Adam Goldstein "DJ AM" were critically burned and injured in a Learjet crash late Friday night that killed 4 other people onboard. Hours after performing for thousands of South Carolina University college students, the plane hurtled off the end of the runway and crashed through antennas and a fence. It came to rest on an embankment across a five-lane highway and was engulfed in flames. One witness said, he saw two people thrown out of the plane and were on fire, they were patting each other down and taking off their clothes as they were on fire trying to survive.

Barker and Goldstein were taken to a burn center in Augusta, Ga., about 75 miles southwest of Columbia. Two other passengers — Chris Baker, 29, of Studio City, Calif., and Charles Still, 25, of Los Angeles — died, as did pilot Sarah Lemmon, 31, of Anaheim Hills, Calif., and co-pilot James Bland, 52, of Carlsbad, according to the South Carolina county coroner. Baker was an assistant to Barker and still was a security guard for the musician.

Barker and Goldstein had performed together under the name TRVSDJ-AM at the free concert in Columbia on Friday night. Event sponsor T-Mobile said their hour-long set ended at about 7:15 p.m. The show, which included performances by former Jane’s Addiction singer Perry Farrell and singer Gavin DeGraw, drew 10,000 people into the streets of Five Points, the neighborhood near the University of South Carolina.

This is so crazy, our hope and prayers are with all of them...
