Former Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and celebrity disc jockey DJ AM were critically injured in a plane crash Friday. One of their doctors said Sunday he expected them to fully recover. Two of the musicians’ close friends and two crew members were killed when the plane shot off the end of the runway, ripped through a fence and crossed a highway. It came to rest on an embankment a quarter-mile from the end of the runway, engulfed in flames.
National Transportation Safety Board member Debbie Hersman said no cause of the crash has been determined and the investigation is ongoing. She did say pieces of tire were recovered about 2,800 feet from where the plane started its takeoff. The runway is 8,600 feet long. The plane was traveling at least 92 mph, its minimum takeoff speed, when the crew thought the tire burst, Hersman said.
