Chris Posted September 20, 2008 Posted September 20, 2008 Just saw it on MSNBC... That sucks, I hope he survives. I'm shocked to hear. Didn't someone make a phony post a few months ago saying TB died in an airplane crash? Quote
Chris Posted September 20, 2008 Posted September 20, 2008 Per news reports on MSNBC/MSNBC.com. The accident happened just around midnight. The a/c was taking off, it apparently had some kind of problem, veered of to one side, broke through a perimeter fence, crossed a service road and into an embankment. It then caught on fire, gutting most of the a/c. 4 were killed, 2 pax including a well known DJ and a former member of Blink-182 were severely burned. Other pax were not named at this time probably until family members are notified. There had been a major music concert in the Columbia area last night and it is believed those on the a/c were returning home to southern California after preforming at it. MSNBC has shown live video of the accident site and the a/c. Most of the a/c, especially the upper half is gone due apparently to fire. Columbia Metro Airport is closed to all traffic until further notice and NTSB investigators are on the way. http://www.airliners.net/aviation-forums/general_aviation/read.main/4151311/ Quote
