DJ AM and Travis Barker
Plane crash Wow 
Former Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and DJ AM, the turntable star once engaged to Nicole Richie, are the only survivors of a late-night Learjet crash in South Carolina that killed the other four onboard.
A rep for the Joseph Still Burn Center in Augusta, Ga., tells E! News that Barker, 32, and Goldstein, 35, are in "critical but stable condition. Barker arrived by ground transportation while DJ AM had to be airlifted to the hospital where he is currently in surgery, sources close to the celebrity disc jockey tell E! News.
The four victims have been identified by the Lexington County Deputy Coroner. They are pilot Sarah Lemmon, 31, of Anaheim, Calif.; her copilot, James Bland, 52, of Carlsbad, Calif.; Barker's assistant, Chris "Little Chris" Baker, 29, of Studio City, Calif.; and Charles Still, 25, of Los Angeles, Calif.
The Lear 60 was headed to Van Nuys, Calif.
Barker and AM blend drum beats and dance beats under the name TRVSDJ-AM, and had just finished playing a free T-Mobile concert in Columbia with Gavin DeGraw and former Jane's Addiction frontman Perry Farrell.
Both were also part of the house band at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards.
Initial investigations at the crash site have concluded, a rep for the National Transportation Safety Board confirms to E! News.

We are deeply saddened... I work with T-Mobile and they had just concluded their concert for our launch of the Carolinas market. A thread on this is in the Carolinas forum too. I was shocked to read the news this morning knowing they had just performed on our behalf last night.
Deepest sympathy and prayers to family and friends.

NEW: Witness says Barker was on fire, ripped off clothes to extinguish flames
"Owens told WIS-TV he was driving on Highway 302 when he saw a fireball. Owens stopped and crossed across the road, which was doused with fuel, to get close to the wreckage.
Barker was standing in the road, trying to extinguish his burning pants, Owens told WIS-TV.
Owens and Goldstein walked toward the plane, but there was nothing they could do to help, he said. "
