Plane Crash, DJ AM and Travis Barker

Travis and Adam, who appear together under the name TRVSDJ-AM, had just wrapped up a concert near the University of South Carolina. (Perry Ferrell, lead singer of Jane’s Addiction, and Gavin DeGraw were also performers at this free event.) Their plane was heading back to Van Nuys, CA when it crashed through a fence off the side of the runway shortly before midnight.

The NTSB is currently investigating the circumstances behind the “overrun.” Weather is not believed to be a factor in the incident.
