Travis Barker and DJ AM Private Plane Ran Out of Runway
More is being discoverd from the plane crash in September. Travis Barker and DJ AM’s private jet crashed in Columbia, South Carolina shortly after take off that sadly killed four of the musicians close friends and badly burned Barker and Goldstein.
On newley released cockpit recordings, the pilot reported the plane “going off the end” of the runway. Aviation authorities say the cockpit recordings reveal the jet’s crew believed a tire blew before takeoff, but the recordings could not confirm that. Apparently they pilots tried to stop the plane from taking off and ran out of runway. The plane was already traveling 156 mph and some experts say the pilots should have lifted off the runway instead of trying to stop. Tire debris was found about 2,800 ft from where the plane initially started takeoff down the 8,600 ft runway.
Barker and Goldstein performed at a free concert in Columbia, SC earlier that night of the crash on September 19.
Do not listen to ’some experts’. They are easy to find and a dime a dozen. Listen to run the rules. For that plane, under that weight, under that temperature there is a certain speed that they can stop before and a certain speed they have to commit (take off) at. Period. When we see that they made a bad decision based on the facts then this is a story.
love travis!
great drummer!
keep it up!

Could it be possible Patrick, that the pilots reached V2 at 156mph?
