stable condition and are being treated at Joseph M. Still Burn Center
in Augusta, Georgia after surviving a plane crash late last night in
Columbia, South Carolina. The hospital will issue a statement with an

claimed the lives of four people on board, two of whom, Chris Baker
(Lil Chris) and Charles Stills (Che), were close friends of the

expressed to the loved ones of all who perished in the crash. As the

Travis & Adam Save Their Lives By Jumping From The Plane
Sources tell us Travis Barker and DJ AM saved their own lives after
their plane crashed by jumping out the door of the burning plane,
almost immediately after the small jet came to a halt.

As we reported, both are at a burn center, but it could have been fatal. The
Learjet was already on fire when they fled.

Condition Update:
TMZ
has learned Travis Barker has been burned from the waist down, but he
is expected to survive the plane crash. DJ AM's face was severely
burned and is being tended to right now. He is currently in a doctor-induced
coma.

We're
also told the tragedy is all the worse because one of the passengers
who died, Chris Baker, Travis' assistant on "Meet the Barkers," was
married recently and has a new baby.

More Info:
Members of DJ AM¢s and Travis Barker¢s family are heading to Georgia to be with
the injured young men, according to MTV. They are being treated in a burn unit
in Augusta, Ga.



According to TMZ, Barker sustained severe burns from the waist down. DJ AM
suffered facial burns.



An eyewitness told NBC affiliate WIS that he saw a fireball,
realized it was a plane, saw jet fuel shoot out across the road and
then saw two men, who were both on fire, patting each other down to
extinguish the flames.



These men were later confirmed to be DJ AM (Adam Goldstein) and Barker.

The crash happened before midnight on Friday.  A twin-engine private
Learjet with six passengers onboard never left the ground, overran the
runway, struck an antenna array and several lights, and began sending
up sparks. To see a video of the crash site, click here.

After skidding off the end of the runway, through a perimeter fence
between the airfield and a roadway, the plane  crossed the roadway,
stopping on an embankment.



It caught fire on impact. Two passengers - later confirmed to be AM
and Barker -  escaped the plane but the other two passengers and crew
members died in the crash.



Us Magazine reports that AM was put in a doctor-induced coma and will undergo
skin grafts. He was conscious long enough to call his mother from the ambulance
to tell her about the accident.
