Travis Barker’s Near-Death Flight Crash | Raleigh News

Travis Barker survived a harrowing 2008 private plane crash that killed everyone else on board—including two pilots, his assistant, and security guard—after he ignored his gut instincts and boarded the flight despite foggy conditions, a bad feeling from his daughter, and last-minute safety oversights. He and DJ AM were the only survivors, both suffering severe burns as Travis’s body caught fire during the escape. The crash was caused by tire fragments damaging the plane’s hydraulics. Travis spent six months in a burn center and avoided flying for years until he flew again in 2021 after dating Kourtney Kardashian. DJ AM died of a drug overdose just under a year later at 36. Now reflecting, Travis says he’d absolutely not have gotten on that plane if he had his time over.
