“Travis Barker and DJ AM are expected to make full recovery after sustaining second and third degree burns during a plane crash that killed four passengers.

Dr. Fred Mullins released a statement yesterday (September 21) to the Associated Press claiming both men were being treated in a Georgia hospital. Mullins revealed Barker’s effected area was his torso and his lower body while DJ AM (born Adam Goldstein) has sustained burns on his hands and a section of his head.

While they are expected to make full recoveries, Mullins explained that the burns may take up to an entire year to heal completely.”

Accident May of Come From Blown Tire
National Transportation Safety Board member Debbie Hersman said that a voice on the cockpit recording can be heard responding to a blown tire. The crew intended to abort takeoff when they heard a sound consistent with a blown tire. At that point, the pilot and co-pilot may have had mere seconds to react.

While nothing is certain yet, pieces of tire were found on the runway 2,800 feet down the 6,800 feet long runway. The tiny Learjet – which is so small that it cannot complete direct transoceanic flights – may have already been traveling 90mph when it lost the tire, and quickly losing runway, the crew would have had only moments to decide whether to abort or take off.

The plane requires at least 5,000 feet to get airborne, and at a top speed of 138mph, that runaway goes in the blink of an eye.

The recording also indicates that attempts to get off the ground had failed, sending the plan careening off the runway, into a fence, across a highway and into an embankment, bursting into flames.
