Guess he got burned up pretty good. :Oh crap

Isn't he a friend of KB? Sad news,

Too bad, he's a talented, hard working guy. Hope he pulls through it okay.

Wow that sucks for him, sounds like it was absolute luck that he survived. The article said him and another guy were dumped out of the wreckage and they were the only two to survive. Hopefully he can recover well.

in KB's mind he is....

and yes, its sad news, but at least he didnt burn to death in the plane...

that had to be awful for the four that didnt make it out...

I heard he is burnt to a crisp. Burn victims may live up to a week or so until dying.

Never let a woman fly the plane....

so where are all the guys who were preaching Karma all week?

This is exactly why I dont buy into Karma, because when things like this happen, NO ONE comes forward from the Karma crowd and says "well, he mustve done something bad."

Cnodolences to the dead and hope the injured a speedy recovery.

karma does not exist.

Sucks.. Very scary.. I could not imagine being burned to death.. Would be a horrible way to go.

because by disrespecting the dead, you are setting yourself up for bad karma...

its a vicious circle............

leave dane cook out of this...on a side note i have been karma'd to hell this week and not in a good way:disgust

no, people who believe in karma do not believe in it enough to stand by it in the face of tragedy.

you either believe it or dont, fact is bad things happen for NO REASON at all and karma believers cant accept that.

Again, condolences out to those involved, but you guys never put your money where your mouth is in incidents like this

Damn.he's so lucky he wasn't killed

depending on how bad the burns are might have been better to die on impact:(:2 cents:

not really... everything can be broken down mathematically...

think about how many people fly daily... 1 accident out of how many flights.. its just that when a celebrity is invloved, people take notice..

its all about statistics...

I am proud to call TRV a friend and I was horrified when I got the call from TMZ at 6 am that Lil Chris had died.

Chris was a cool cat and he had just gotten married and had a baby.
I met him while Too Short and I laid down a track with Travis for an upcoming EA Sports video game in Travis' studio in North Hollywood ywo years ago-

Chris would come out to all of Short's shows at the HOB on Sunset. and most recently got me in to the show they played at the ROXY. He will truly be missed. he was the funniest white boy Short has ever met.

It's a real tragedy.
RIP Chris Baker AKA Lil Chris

OMG, that's so crazy and tragic. I hope DJ AM and Barker pull through, and if so, I doubt they'll ever be touring by plane again...that's some traumatic shit:(:(:(

Having been burned twice (in flames once), I'd have to agree. My burns were minor in comparison to what I'd expect in a crash, but if it's an inkling of what they experienced...

How did u get burned?

Once, when I was a kid, I got knocked onto a grill, and my clothes went up. The second time, Iw as cleaning my restaurant before I sold it, and someone knocked something into a fryer, splattering me with 400 degree cooking oil.

very sad to hear :(

doesnt sound good... i read that burns are one of the most painful things ever...

If you've never seen Richard Pryor's routine about when he essentially blew himself up, you should listen to it. It's amazing, and spot on when it comes to burns.

So.....whats the latest info on this?

Agreed. Bad, even terrible things happen to good people all the time. Karma is a nice fuzzy concept but in this sick, fucked up world it isn't any more than that. The little kid somewhere in the world who just got raped didn't get raped because of karma, it happened because this place and random and fucked up. Never really liked Travis, but I do wish him and the other guy well, recovering from massive burns is going to be very hard, and he may never be the same again.

hope it he makes it. damn that sucks

that's some insane shit

Do they think he will survive?

I've also heard that burns are very painful during recovery too. Apparently they have to scrape off the dead skin in order that it doesn't get infected and for it to heal properly. I remember watching a guy talk about it on tv. He said the pain is something he wouldn't wish upon his worst enemy.

What is worse?....

Plane crashing at low altitude and you burn to death pretty fast.
or
Plane malfunctioning at high altitude, and you know for a few minutes that you are about to slam into the ground.

My thoughts are with Travis...

AM is "really, really badly burned," according to the source, who confirms that "his face is very burned." The source adds, "More than 50 percent of his body is burned and the worst is on his face."

The friend also said that Barker was burned "mostly from the waist down."

sounds fucking horrible.

I heard about this earlier today on the CNN news channel. Very sad news.
