Travis Barker survived a 2008 plane crash and hadn't flown since until this weekend when he traveled by plane with Kourtney Kardashian.
, Barker had played a show in South Carolina with friend Adam “DJ AM” Goldstein. Afterward, the pair boarded a private plane with two good friends: assistant Chris Baker and security guard Charles Still. What followed was absolutely horrifying — the plane’s tires blew during takeoff and the craft was out of control, skidding across a nearby highway and eventually bursting into flame.
Barker says he already had a lifelong fear of flying and after the terrifying and tragic accident where he sustained burns over 65 percent of his body, he was understandably done with air travel. He spent three months in the hospital and could’t even attend his friends’ funerals. To add to the heartbreak, Goldstein died a year later from a drug overdose leaving Barker as the sole remaining survivor of the plane crash.
