Chris Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
