Why did Travis Barker take a private jet, not a commercial plane?
Why did Travis Barker, pictured at right, and DJ AM take a private plane back to Los Angeles after doing a free concert in South Carolina?
Barker reportedly doesn't like to fly in private jets, preferring commercial planes.
According to a TMZ report, the wife of Barker's business partner Chris Baker was about to give birth. That information has since been disputed.
A rep for DJ AM released the following statement Saturday evening: "Chris Baker did not ask for a jet to meet his wife in delivery because she's not even pregnant. A private jet had always been chartered as DJ AM had a private engagement today in Los Angeles."
The private plane crashed shortly after midnight, critically injuring DJ AM and Barker and killing four others on board, including Baker.

Life sucks get over it. Things in life happens. Get over it. Yeah it is a shame that people died. Are they more important then the people in our own lives? Next time you write an article don't ask why, ask, why are they more important? Musician, DJ, not the first to be in a airline accident, normal ordinary people, same. But next time you see CNN report that these two celebrities, which was told by name, are mentioned and four others, who names are not mentioned, ask why? Society sucks, life sucks, we all live and die. But wondering why this dippies took a private plane instead of a commercial is just "plane" stupid. Nice reporting.......
People are people all the same! We treat each other with the same respect.
"Why did DJ AM and Travis Barker take a private plane back to Los Angeles after a doing a free concert in South Carolina? " Who gives a crap. Love people for who they are....people not celebrities. Try to report actual news next time, not one person who was on TV for 1 year was hurt. I guarantee if Mike Edmonds passed on now one would care (look em up). How about Karen McNaulty, or Johnson McCrane. Dicky!
I am not a fan of Barkers ... at all. But do not wish pain, suffering or death on anyone. My heart goes out to those who actually lost their lives. Death is no joke.
Why on Earth is Travis' decision to take a private jet instead of a commercial flight being questioned at this time?
Surely there is a much more important issue here, that being his health condition. I sincerely hope he gets better and back to his performing best soon!
To those that were unfortunate enough to perish in the accident, RIP.
chris's wife gave birth to the first son 6 or so months ago.
that child is now fartherless.
May God Be With Them
so so sad, hope these guys will pull through
i true barker fan all the way
