BLINK 182'S DRUMMER AND DJ AM HURT IN PLANE CRASH


Blink 182 alum Travis Barker and Nicole Richie's ex boyfriend, DJ AM, have been hospitalized after surviving a plane crash that killed four other people. After performing at a college concert in Columbia, South Carolina on Friday night, the rockers boarded a Learjet headed for California, which took off shortly before midnight. According to Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen, air traffic controllers reported seeing sparks upon takeoff as the plane ran off the runway through a fence and then caught fire. Two crew members and two passengers were killed — the pilot, co-pilot, Travis Barker's assistant and his bodyguard. TMZ reports Travis and DJ-AM (aka Adam Goldstein) jumped out of the door of the burning plane almost immediately after the crash. Both were taken to a burn center in Augusta, Ga. and are currently listed in critical but stable condition.
