Quick thinking spared DJ AM and Travis Barker

Quick reactions and thinking seems to have saved DJ AM (real name: Adam Goldstein) and Travis Barker’s lives. A policeman on the scene of the tragic accident that seriously burned the two musicians revealed how the duo were able to escape the flame-engulfed plane, “[Travis and Adam] told me that they slid down the wing on the right side of the plane.”

The officer also revealed that the two were on fire and that they, “tackled each other and put each other out.”

He went on to say that when he came on to the site Travis and AM were pacing and in shock.

And, contrary to other reports, the official said the pair weren’t totally striped down.

Though shirtless, Travis had on shorts, a sock and his black hat on. AM still had his boxer shorts on.

The pair have begun the long pain staking procedures to treat their 2nd and 3rd degree burns. DJ AM was said to be in a drug induced coma (not confirmed) to spare him from the severe pain and begin the series of skin transplants he will need.
