Plane Crash

TRAVIS BARKER IS AMAZED BY HIS OWN TRANQUILITY

Drummer Travis Barker is a changed man. And it looks like he has Kourtney Kardashian to thank for these changes. His 2008 plane crash that landed him horribly burned in the hospital for 11 weeks undergoing 27 surgeries, left him with a fear of flying, and suicidal. He became a recluse. That is, until he started spending more time with old friend Kourtney. Their friendship developed into romance, and with her, he’s flying again. Not only flying, but smooching in public with no qualms. He seems to be enjoying the attention they get just walking down the street in New York in the photo, above. Kourtney was with him backstage (more PDA!) when he drummed for Young Thug on SNL this weekend. His shirtless and highly active drumming got him a burst of applause…

Kids Plane Crash Travis Barker

TRAVIS BARKER AND HIS PRETTY KIDS

Imagine having Blink – 182 drummer Travis Barker for your dad. Travis miraculously survived that horrible plane crash in 2008 and says it changed him. He gave up prescription drugs, and now he eats right, but he remains terrified of planes. Travis took his kids, Landon, 10, and Alabama, 8, to the finale of America’s Got Talent in New York. Travis and their mother Shanna Moakler, who was Miss USA, divorced in 2008.

Chesley Sullenberger Heroes Pilot Plane Crash

SULLY WAS IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME

US Airways pilot Chesley Sullenberger, 57, from Danville, California, who managed to pull off the FIRST EVER emergency water landing of a commercial airline with no casualties. 155 people are alive because of him. THAT is quite an accomplishment and this is an American hero who was prepared for the challenge. He’s educated – with TWO masters degrees, he’s a safety expert, and he’s had around 40 years of flying experience. He’s exactly the guy that many women would like to meet on match.com, but he already has a wife Lori and kids. He renews our faith in the American male! We can hardly wait for the inevitable Barbara Walters interview.

DJ AM Plane Crash Travis Barker

TRAVIS BARKER AND DJ AM HAVE A TOUGH ROAD AHEAD

The South Carolina private plane crash Friday night is the talk of Hollywood. Everyone wants to know how DJ AM and Travis Barker are REALLY doing. There probably won’t be any updates on their conditions until tomorrow. When we heard that the two guys leaped out of the fiery plane while it was still rolling we figured they might have been luckily sitting by the exit. Their clothes were on fire and they pulled them off each other as they ran away from the plane. Their escape was even more incredible because the four other people on the plane perished. Both guys are in critical condition at a S.C. burn center – DJ AM who was scheduled to spin at an Emmy party Sunday, has a burned face and Travis has burned legs. We’re thinking they’ll be put into a medical “coma” because the pain from burns is so intense and long lasting. It might be awhile before we get their side of the story. Still, it’s a miracle they survived.
