DJ AM has opened up what happened in those first few minutes after that awful plane crash last month. He admits that what saved his life were the basic fire safety tips they teach you in elementary school.

“I’m the luckiest man alive. (There was) fire everywhere. I tried to cover my face as I jumped through a fireball. As soon as I hit the ground, I remembered, ‘Stop, drop and roll.’ So I started rolling. I can’t believe I made it. I’m just grateful.”

He goes on to explain that he was sleeping when the plane crashed and he woke up to flames and the sound of his friend Travis screaming. He then saw Travis jerk open the door and slide down on his backside down a wing of the plane that was already on fire.

Goldstein tells People, “My eyebrows and layers of skin were burned off my face. My forehead was gouged and my arm had skin hanging off. I was in shock and didn’t feel anything.(But) in the ambulance I was in so much pain. It sounds weird, but they turn the heat on full blast so your body doesn’t go into hypothermia. On burns that’s excruciating.”

If there is any positive at all to come out of this tragedy, it’s that you bet your ass that DJ AM and Travis Barker are savoring every single minute of every single day of their borrowed time. And hopefully Travis won’t waste any more of his precious life on that trashy ex-wife of his. And is it my imagination or does Adam all of the sudden look 10 years older?
