to Biotech is GodzillaVenom says:
Wow lol, you are a real piece of garbage.
to VenomToo bad it is never planes with just people like you on them.
My prayers go out to everyone on the plane and their families.
please.. says:
wow “lol” that’s really f-ing harsh… i can imagine you’re feeling bitter as that’s how people would feel if it were you in the plane crash?
to please..tattoo face says:
“lol” – ur goin to hell.
to tattoo faceRocket Queen says:
it’s called karma. too bad it had to get Travis while innocent people were on the plane.
to Rocket QueenPraying says:
Don’t even give “lol” the satisfaction of responding to him or her.
I just read that they jumped out of the plane as soon as it stopped. I cannot even imagine what quick thinking and bravery that must have taken.
Prayers for the families who lost loved ones and the families that will now help loved ones heal.
to PrayingPseudo Spade says:
@Rocket Queen:
Why don’t you and all the other Karma-coated cooks get together and read a crystal ball or play with Tarot cards or something. No, I got it, get yourselves a Magic 8-Ball fortune teller tell us all how our lives will play out. Douchebags.
to Pseudo SpadeRocket Queen says:
there are things to get upset about, like when Senna died in the Formula One crash. but when some poser douch goes down in a plane, i do not care. and it’s not called “bravery” it’s called adrenaline, and any able-bodied person would have jumped too. big deal.
to Rocket QueenA says:
There was 6 on the plane, Travis and DJ AM were the only ones who survived
to Akate says:
it was a helluva concert too. they are in my prayers.
to katetravis says:
Travis did deserve it too bad he jumped
to travisSPURS FAN (the real one) says:
I agree it is not harsh enough that was god’s intention for those douchbags
to SPURS FAN (the real one)dayum says:
i wonder how that will affect his tatted up body… all the tatoos are gonna smear together
to dayummeow says:
lol, your a fu*k stick. What have you done in your life? Travis has success you could only dream of you fa*got. I’m guessing you are in your late 20′s living in your moms basement. Stop hatin on guys your jealous of because they are something you will never be. I think the only douchebag on here is your gay ass.
to meowoatmeal eater says:
holy crap i was at the show last night it was crazy good. sucks for them man.
to oatmeal eatersweet jesus says:
sucks, altough a douche both of them, they dont deserve this, hope they can survive i hope travis kids are well
to sweet jesusRIP VICTIMS says:
Rest in Piece victims and my thoughts are with all of you including Trav and Am. Travis is the greatest musician and most successful musician in the last ten years. This is truly a tragedy.
to RIP VICTIMSPraying says:
Rocket Queen (DEFINITELY not Rocket Scientist) ~ Yeah it is MUCH more upsetting when someone who gets into a vehicle with the intention of speeding and putting their life in jeopardy actually dies from speeding around a track… I mean someone who got on to a plane was doing something really risky right ?
Hopefully you will be in a situation one day where everyone says you deserved it too. For you to pass judgement on someone based on what you read in gossip mags… Give me a break.
to Prayingjanie says:
this is so sad. the accident is horrible, but to read these disgusting remarks from all you a$$holes, is even worse.
god forbid any of you get into a horrible accident, where one of your best friends die right before your eyes. would you want people sitting back and saying, “oh, they deserved it…” or “they SHOULD have died…”
you people are whats wrong with this world. and i hope you all learn a little compassion, at the expense of a personal tragedy.
to janieSPURS FAN says:
SPURS FAN (the real one):
Don’t think it was God’s intention. Thanks again for posting stupid stuff under my silly name. You’re just the sharpest person ever. Wow, posting stupid sh*t as me. Awesome. I hope you have luck finding your balls this weekend.
Also, this plane crash is sad, I guess I should mention that.
to SPURS FANOK.... says:
I feel sorry for the families and the two with a long recovery ahead of them, but a few corrections.
First it isn’t “brave” or “heroic” to get out of a burning plane…pulling someone out of one is (and they didn’t do that) They also didn’t “jump” from the plane…as the plane came apart they were ejected on the roadway.
Second, I feel bad for them and all but “Travis is the greatest musician and most successful musician in the last ten years.” Get a grip even if you think he is great, that simply right there is a retarded statement.
to OK....L O L is a lonely sad person (same as ROCKET QUEEN) says:
You know these people. They have no friends/no life/nothing better to do since they have no girlfriend/boyfriend so they write stupidity online. Every schmuck like them does it for attention. To make fun of someone’s death or injuries means you are devoid of normal human emotions. You are a worthless human being as evidenced by your depraved words. We know that you know you are valueless. It is sad. Don’t respond to these people with hate. They are so sad.
My prayers are with all the families of the lost and with Travis and DJ and anyone else who went through such a horrorshow ordeal. It must have been terrifying but at least they were proactive and got out. Travis doesn’t look like the sort of guy to go out quietly – and he didn’t. He changed his course.
to L O L is a lonely sad person (same as ROCKET QUEEN)I wish the asswipes on this page would do the same and change their life and stop being pitiful people.
ELECTRA says:
I agree…i love travis and im glade hes okay
to ELECTRASPURS FAN (the real one) says:
Hey SPURS FAN (the real one) : Quit copy catting me!! Get your own screen name! Quit making up stupid stuff and using my identity!!!!!!!!! Faker!!!!!!!
to SPURS FAN (the real one)Dirtygirl says:
I wish ‘lol’ would die in a plane crash. Then they would be right. One less douchebag to deal with.
And ‘Rocket Queen’, you’re right. I do believe in karma, too. And since you said what you said karma will be catching up with you one day. Good luck with that, bitch.
to Dirtygirlshame on me says:
No disrespect to anyone involved in the crash, but quick thinking and bravery have nothing to do with it. When you’re inside or near a large fire, your ass is going to do anything to get away from it. Jumping off, or out of, a small plane is a no-brainer.
Case in point, look at all of the people who jumped out of the WTC buildings.
It’s in God’s hands now.
to shame on meRocket Queen says:
spare me your feigned public empathy. this guy would walk by each and every one of you if you were homeless on the streets. I, on the other hand, would give you a dollar and kick you in the nuts. Put your humanitarian efforts into something more worthwhile. The only reason I wish for Travis to live is that when he decomposed, there would remain a tremendous ink splotch from his tattoos which would seep into the ground and harm the beautiful trees and plantlife that I care so deeply about.
to Rocket QueenDirtygirl says:
Quick thinking did have something to do with it. Some people die in accidents not because of the impact but some go in shock and are confused in all the chaos. Just like a person that doesn’t know how to swim doesn’t die from not knowing how, but from freaking out that they think they are going to sink and die. Nobody knows how you yourself would act in the situation unless you have been in it.
Rocket Queen:
What, he didn’t give you a dollar when he walked by you? Is this why you say these things? Just so you know, it’s not only him that would do that….
I don’t give homeless $2 crack whores any dollars either.
to DirtygirlRichardJasagna says:
Eh. Rocket Queen’s right.
That tattoed giraffe with a low IQ is no hero (ever here him talk…not smart). Not to mention he’s a pretty lame drummer at best (check out some live Blink 182 songs on youtube). Good lord Travis, learn how to keep time backing your band up, it’s your job. Your meter is all over the place.
And oh boy, the world is really gonna be amiss without another DJ spinning the tunes for us. I don’t think I’ll EVER understand why DJs need to be treated like rockstars. They’re talentless and most of ‘em are frustrated bad musicians who are too lazy to really learn how to play and instrument.
Shame what happened, because if Travis and Adam survive they’ve got a long, and painful road ahead of them. But the bottom line is those guys were in primal self-preservation mode. They’re no heroes and there was most likely little if any bravery involved. Prolly the only thing going through their minds was HOLY **** I’M ON FIRE. DROP and ROLL!!! Does this translate to bravery? Not in my book.

(excuse the typos) Playing Warhammer Online. Woot!;)
to RichardJasagna***** says:
why couldn’t this happen to george bush?
to *****Jack says:
never never never rent a lear jet
yes they are cheeeeep !!!!!!!!!
but as you can see here not a good idea
when I fly private I rent a gulfstream, bombardier
here is some insight
to Jacklook at what David Geffen, Michael Eisenberg rent or own and rent those brands
otherwise fly first class
of course my prayers go out to those in this tragic accident then again was it a hit ?
meow says:
Ok Rocket Quen, I get it. Your some tree hugger douchebag hippie that is jealous of guys doing big things in music huh?! Yeah, your gay hippie bands like Phish arent doing so well these days huh? What a shame that is. These guys, like them or not, have more success than you could ever dream of. Rocket Queen = gay douche. You were obviously touched on the knee multiple times when you were a youngster….. FAMOUS FAMILY FOR LIFE!!!
to meowJohnny Scottsdale says:
women drivers… just sayin
to Johnny Scottsdaleahahah says:
they shouldve died. Both are a waste of skin,.
to ahahahha says:
travis deserves a good ass beating for sure but not this.
to hasassybeach says:
Don’t know much about either of their music, but my ass would be doin’ some serious thinking about what I’ve done in my life and saying HELLO to the big sign that I just got thwomped with. Maybe need to do something to help others? Sounds like crach was from something mechanical. Bummer that others died and what these 2 face, recovering from burns. Damn, ever just burned yourself on the damn stove…..that frickin’ HURTS!!
to sassybeachdirtygirl says:
WTF CANT PEOPLE COME UP WITH THEIR OWN SCREEN NAMES??? THEY GOTTA STEAL MINE!
to dirtygirlShawna V says:
“God” should be capitalized. It’s a proper noun
to Shawna Vdang says:
i just hope they recover quick…
to dangVix says:
RIP Jim Bland….you were a great man, and you will be missed (personal friend of the family)my thoughts and prayers go out to his family and all the other families. xoxo
