One of the first responders on the scene when the plane carrying Travis Barker and DJ AM says it was “divine intervention” that the two of them survived

Lt. Jason Shumpert of the South Congaree Police Department says it was obvious that Travis was in a lot of pain, but he was also concerned about the other on board the plane. “He just kept saying, ‘That’s my friends in the plane, that’s my friends in the plane,’” Shumpert said.

Of course by now you know that the pilot and co-pilot died of smoke inhalation and burns  and Chris Barker and Charles Still died from impact injuries.

“It was divine intervention that they got out,” he said. “They should be commended for being able to get out and keep their heads together.” They said the plane went down,” Shumpert recalled. “They didn’t say how or if they knew. Once it went down, they were able to slide down the wing of the plane, and they jumped on each other to put fires on each other out and rolled around on the ground.”
