NÝTT NÝTT - 4 dauðir og 2 slasaðir - Travis Barker & DJ A.M. Slasaðir en sluppu eftir hörmulegt flugslys

This is heartbreaking! So tragic.

Travis Barker was involved in a fatal private plane crash in Columbia, South Carolina early on Saturday morning, killing four and injuring two.

The former Blink 182 drummer is said to be one of the two injured.

Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen says the plane carrying six people was departing shortly before midnight Friday when air traffic controllers reporting seeing sparks.

She says the plane went off the runway and crashed on a nearby road.

Bergen says the Lear 60 was headed to Van Nuys, Calif.

She didn't have the names of those killed and didn't know the conditions of the two people injured.

Update: Nooooo!!!!!!!!

We are hearing that D.J. A.M. was also on the plane at the time of the crash.

Please pray to God that he is okay!!!!

Update #2: Travis is in "critical" condition.

He's been transfered to the Agusta, Georgia Burn Center. We pray that his injuries are not severe.

Update #3: D.J. A.M. is alive!!!!!

It's a miracle!!!!

We're hearing he is in stable condition but in "shock."

God was with Travis and A.M.!

Of the six people involved in the fatal plane crash, they were the only two that survived!

Update #4: An airport spokesperson says the plane - a small lear jet - crashed just after take off a little before midnight Friday. It appears the plane was attempting to take off, ran off the runway, through a fence, and hit an embankment along Highway 302.

The plane then caught fire.

Our heart goes out to the family and friends of those who passed. Their names have yet to be released.

Update #5: Gavin DeGraw and Perry Farrell were also at the concert Travis and A.M. were performing at. It is unknown at this time if either of theme were also on the plane.

Update #6: Details are still unknown as to what caused the crash.

So sad.

Update #8: We have just learned that Perry Farrell was not on the plane.

Update #9: Gavin DeGraw was not on the plane either.

Update #10: We are hearing that one of those deceased is Travis' assistant, Chris.

Devastating.

Our condolences to everyone!

Listen up, everyone. Travis Barker and DJ AM need your prayers and well-wishes. The mixmaster and the former Blink-182 star were critically injured when the jet they were aboard was destroyed in a fiery crash outside Augusta, Georgia overnight. Two crew members and two passengers were killed in the crash, NBC News reports.

Travis and AM, whose real name is Adam Michael Goldstein, were transported to a burn center in Augusta when they are presently being treated.

The pair was headed back to California after performing at an event alongside singer Perry Farrell Gavin DeGraw. There’s been no word on their condition.

Developing….

As we reported earlier, Travis Barker and celebrity music spinner, DJ AM were critically injured after their Learjet 60 crashed during takeoff from South Carolina's Columbia Metropolitan Airport, just before midnight on Friday. The plane was headed for Van Nuys, CA.

The former Blink 182 drummer, Baker, and DJ AM are in critical condition and being treated for severe burns at an Augusta, Georgia burn center.

Barker was transported by ground to the burn facility from the site of the crash.

DJ AM was airlifted.

Four people died in the crash.

The deceased have been identified as pilot Sarah Lemmon, 31, of Anaheim Hills, CA co-pilot James Bland, 52, of Carlsbad, CA, Chris Baker, 29, of Studio City, CA, and Charles Still, 25 of Los Angeles, CA.

Chris was Travis's assistant.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to their families.

The plane crash is still under investigation, however, during a press conference late Saturday morning a spokeswoman for the National Transportation Safety Board revealed that the plane overran the airstrip and proceeded to run into a number of the airport's lights and antenna.

Air traffic controllers reportedly "saw sparks coming from the runway" before the crash. Investigators don't know if that was from the aircraft or its engines.

A South Carolina resident named William Owens was driving down a highway next to the airport when he said he saw a fireball go across the road. He told local TV station WIS News 10:

"I didn't know what I had seen — it was maybe 800 feet in front of me, but as I approached it closer though I made out a fire. By then I was able to see the tail of the jet and I recognized it as a jet," Owens said.

Owens then described what he saw as he tried to make it to the wreckage.

"It's in flames and the fuel is running across the road and I had to cross the fuel to get to the two guys that seemed to have been dumped on the highway," Owens said.

Owens said the two men (Travis and DJ AM!) were running around and stripping down to extinguish themselves. He then asked the men if there was anyone else on board the plane and they said four more were with them.

"We turned to the jet to try and see if there was anything we could do, but immediately, there was nothing anyone could do," Owens said.

Travis and AM were in Columbia, South Carolina Friday night for a T-Mobile sponsored concert at Five Points, a popular shopping district.

Musicians Perry Farrell and Gavin DeGraw were also part of the festivities. Their reps confirmed to us that they WERE NOT on the plane that crashed.

So sad, sad, sad.
