DJ AM and Travis Barker in Serious Condition After Plane Crash

Holy shit.
DJ AM and Travis Barker appear to be the sole survivors of a plane crash in South Carolina late last night. They are both in critical condition at a South Carolina hospital.
Officials said the plane carrying six people was departing shortly before midnight Friday when air traffic controllers reporting seeing sparks. The plane hurtled off the end of a 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, said Debbie Hersman, a member of the National Transportation Safety Board.
Barker and DJ AM, whose real name is Adam Goldstein, were in critical condition at a burn center in Augusta, Ga., about 75 miles southwest of Columbia, hospital spokeswoman Beth Frits said.
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 county coroner. Baker was an assistant to Barker and Still was a security guard for the musician.
According to reports, Travis Barker has been burned from the waist down, but he is expected to survive the plane crash. DJ AM’s face was severely burned and is being tended to right now.
Our prayers go out to both of them and their families. This is just horrible.

> If Beet had written “I’m waiting for Santa Clause to bring me a dildo,
Negative, I would not question that because Beet always complains about being frustrated. I believe she would ask Santa for a little helping hand.
By the way, I suspect Beet is really TSS.
I just can’t believe that only those two survived. My prayers are out hter for everyone!!!!

Don’t like Christians, blow them up. Don’t like Muslims, stick them in a Ghetto like the Gaza strip with walls around it.”
i have to agree with you. RELIGIOUS people, whatever their beliefs, have made inhumane choices in the name of their religions. wars are started by religious people in the name of their gods. lives are destroyed by their inflexibility and fanaticism.
but i believe that a distinction needs to be drawn between a religious person and a person of faith. as a person of the Christian faith, i take comfort in the knowledge that i have a God who has been there and done whatever i am going to experience, even death.
many people of faith absolutely cringe when their beliefs are used to subjugate and harm others. we are sickened and saddened at that kind of bastardization.
i hope you will see the distinction and when we as people of faith offer prayers of hope and strength and courage to someone who has been injured it is not to raise ourselves up, but to lift up and comfort the person who needs to be healed.
wow!
