Blink-182's Travis Barker and DJ AM Critically Injured in Plane Crash

So I work about 1/4 of a mile from Doctors Hospital, the hospital with one of the best burn units in the country.

The evil side of me keeps telling me to go over there on my lunch break and snap some pics of Travis Barker and DJ AM. Wondering what I could sell them for.

Doctors Hospital happens to be my HMO assigned hospital, so its not like I wouldn't have reason to be there necessarily.

Damn my good, considerate side from preventing me from doing it! This could be my retirement if I pose as a nurse and get some pictures up close and really personal!

Damn. Even Mandy Moore came to visit.....


Heres the scoop:

Goldstien was once engaged to reality star and socialite Nicole Richie.

Barker performed Friday night at an event with Perry Farrell, Gavin DeGraw, and DJ AM.


The FAA said the plane carrying six people was departing when an air traffic controller reported seeing sparks. The plane went off the runway and crashed on a nearby road.

The plane was going to Van Nuys, CA.
