Travis Barker survives


Blink 182's drummer, Travis Barker survives a plane crash last September 19 with his friend, DJ AM [Adam Goldstein] in Columbia, South Carolina that killed four others. the two of them are the only survivors of the late-night Learjet crash [video]. It happened when they were about to leave the city after performing a free concert for a thousand college students.

"I hate plane. My biggest fear ever is to be involved in a plane crash, so when that happened... well, I'm just thankful to be alive! I'm just grateful to be here at all. ... I'm so anxious to get out of here. I've just been in surgery after surgery. I have third-degree burns basically from my feet up to my waist and both hands. One of my hands has second-degree burns and one has third-degree burns. ...I'm trying to have a quick recovery and play the drums again and be able to hold my two kids again," says Barker during his 1st interview after the accident.


He's hoping to leave the hospital in a few weeks time and be all good though the process will take some time.
