Its been almost two years since the fatal plane crash that left 4 dead and Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker and DJ AM with severe burns. Turns out the whole thing was caused by under-inflated tires. Apparently all 4 tires exploded causing the brakes to fail which then allowed the plane to crash through a fence before speeding across a five-lane highway and hitting an embankment. There was also a damaged electronic sensor caused the plane’s computers to read that it was airborne while still on the ground, automatically closing the thrust reversers which could have been used to slow the plane as well…not to mention the pilot had very little experience with that particular model of jet and made a bad call in aborting the takeoff.

Pretty scary stuff. Good news is Travis has made a full recovery and is now recording a solo album and also albums with both Blink 182 and the Transpants.
