Barker & DJ AM Critical But Stable After Crash

I woke up this morning to news about Travis Barker & DJ AM's horrific plane crash. Of the 6 people on board, Barker and AM were the only survivors. Both men are in critical but stable condition, suffering from extensive burns. Our thoughts and prayers are with their families.

Grim new details about last night's plane crash, which the two survived but four others did not.

AM is "really, really badly burned," according to the source, who confirms that "his face is very burned." The source adds, "More than 50 percent of his body is burned and the worst is on his face."

The friend also said that Barker was burned "mostly from the waist down."

Both men are in critical but stable condition at the Joseph Still Burn Center in Augusta, Ga. E! News was told by the source that, as of this morning, DJ AM was being "kept in an incubator" as part of his treatment in order to maintain a sterile environment and prevent infections.

The source also said that AM was looking forward to coming home last night and, in fact, e-mailed a picture to a friend that showed him standing next to the Learjet right before the ill-fated takeoff. "He sent a picture being like, 'Hey, I'm coming home on this ride.'"

Another source reports that Barker's ex-wife, Shanna Moakler, who was just spotted with him Wednesday night at the Janet Jackson concert in Los Angeles, has left their Calabasas, Calif., home and is headed to Georgia to be with him.

The deceased have been identified as pilot Sarah Lemmon, 31, of Anaheim Hills, CA co-pilot James Bland, 52, of Carlsbad, CA, Chris Baker, 29, of Studio City, CA, and Charles Still, 25 of Los Angeles, CA.

Chris was Travis's assistant, better known as Lil'Chris.

***GOOD NEWS UPDATE***
It's a miracle Travis Barker and DJ AM even survived Friday night's plane crash that killed four others, and now their doctor is saying he expects them to make full recoveries.

"Since both Barker and [Adam 'DJ AM'] Goldstein are in overall good health and didn't suffer from any other crash-related complications, a full recovery is expected," said Dr. Fred Mullins at a press conference on Sunday morning.

"Anybody who can survive a plane crash is pretty lucky," he added.

Mullins explained that Barker was burned on his torso and AM was burned on his hands and part of his head. Both suffer second- and third-degree burns, and remain in critical but stable condition at the Joseph Still Burn Center in Augusta, Ga.

He said that recovery from such burns can take up to one year but expects theirs to be "much sooner than that" since they had no other injuries.

At the press conference, Mullins relayed a message from their families: "The families wish to thank fans from all over the world for their prayers and concern. Deepest sympathy is expressed to the loved ones of those who perished in the crash. As the two recuperate and mourn this loss, privacy for them their families and friends is requested at this time."
