The crash occurred in Colombia , South Carolina after both Travis Barker and DJ AM performed for a crowd at a free concert for college students sponsored by T-Mobile. According to sources, the group of passengers was on its way back to Los Angeles , CA when the plane took off the runway but overran it, struck an antenna array and a few lights, then eventually went through a fence and crashed. Investigations of the plane crash are in process in determining the cause of the crash. Travis Barker who was burned from his waist down and DJ AM who was burned on his face, were the only survivors of the plane crash and are expected to fully recover.

According to family and friends, the reason they group were on the plane at the specific time was because Travis Barker’s assistant wanted to get home early enough to witness the birth of his child. Prayers go out to all the victims of the plane crash, their families, and to a speedy recovery for both Travis Barker and DJ AM.
