COLUMBIA, S.C. - A Learjet has crashed while departing from a South Carolina airport, killing four people and critically injuring two others including a former member of rock band Blink 182.

NBC News reported that Travis Barker, an ex-drummer with the band who also starred in MTV reality show "Meet the Barkers", was among those hurt. He was transported to a burn center in Augusta, Georgia, where he was listed in critical condition on Saturday morning.

Barker had performed Friday night at an event alongside Perry Farrell, the former Jane's Addiction singer, as well as Gavin DeGraw and DJ AM.

It was not clear whether Farrell and DeGraw were also traveling with Barker and Goldstein.

1. Paging DemoTex and AviationPro!

Does this sound like it could be bad fuel to you?

3. Well that's good at least.

Yeah. Two of the four were crew, the others are still unknown.
I didn't realize that Barker had dated Paris Hilton and DJ AM had been engaged to Nicole Richie.

10. Your link is Updated...the pilot thought it was a blown tire

and tried to abort the flight, but couldn't. Jet was traveling at 92 mph when she signaled a problem.

This is heartbreaking to me. Thanks for posting the story, I hadn't heard of it.
