| quote = I opened a door, and my hands caught fire. I ran to get out of the plane, but I fell through a wing. I immediately soaked up with jet fuel and caught fire. And then I was on fire, running like hell. I was running for my family: I didn't care about anything except being with my dad, my sister, Shanna, my three kids. I'm completely naked, holding my genitals—everything else is on fire—and I'm running, trying to put myself out.

On September 19, 2008, [[TRV$DJAM]] performed at a free T-Mobile event in Five Points with [[Jane's Addiction]] singer [[Perry Farrell]] and [[Gavin DeGraw]] in [[Columbia, South Carolina]].<ref name="MSNBCcrash">{{cite web |url=http://www.today.com/id/26803108 |title=Crew in crash died of burns, smoke inhalation |work=Today.com |date=September 22, 2008 |access-date=August 10, 2011 |archive-date=December 2, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141202204838/http://www.today.com/id/26803108 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The trip was a special occasion: "We all thought it was kind of a treat—we were on a private plane," Barker said. Barker had invited his ex-wife Moakler, but she declined, saying she had a weird feeling about leaving their children. With a vacant seat, Barker invited his security guard Che Still, figuring he'd be good company and would enjoy the trip. Barker was always afraid to fly; in his teenage years, he was "sure" he would die in a plane crash.<ref name="rssnottiest" /> When Blink-182 were putting together artwork for ''[[Take Off Your Pants and Jacket]]'' in 2001, they created a "[[Zoso]]-like" icon for each band member: a jacket, a pair of pants, and an airplane. "Please don't give me the plane—I have a really fucked-up fear of flying," Barker begged, who ended up with the plane anyway.<ref name="rssnottiest" />

Just before midnight, the plane, headed for [[Van Nuys, California]], was heading down the runway when the occupants heard a loud bang.<ref name="Newsday">{{cite web|url=https://www.newsday.com/news/nation|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081024014914/http://www.newsday.com/news/nationworld/wire/sns-ap-learjet-crash,0,4049953.story|url-status=dead|title=National and World news stories|archive-date=October 24, 2008|website=Newsday}}</ref> According to the [[Federal Aviation Administration]], the plane was departing from the airport when air traffic controllers saw sparks emanating from the plane.<ref name="Newsday" /> The pilots told the control tower that a tire had blown out and they would be aborting the take-off. The plane hurtled through the airport's fence, across a highway and [[2008 South Carolina Learjet 60 crash|crashed into an embankment]]. "When everything stopped, I tried to get everyone I could," Barker remembered. Barker and Adam "DJ AM" Goldstein escaped the plane and ran in circles on the highway. Hearing others yell, "[[Stop, drop and roll]]," Barker dropped to the ground and Goldstein helped him put out the fire on his feet. Barker said, "I was lying next to AM [Goldstein] as the plane was exploding, and I was screaming, 'Are we alive?'" Barker and Goldstein were transported to the [[Joseph M. Still Burn Center]] in [[Augusta, Georgia]], where they were both listed in critical condition.<ref name="MSNBCcrash" /> They were the only survivors of the crash; personal assistant Chris Baker and Che Still, along with the two pilots, died in the crash. Less than a year later, Goldstein died from an overdose.<ref name="MSNBCcrash" />

Barker spent more than 11 weeks in hospitals and burn centers. He had 16 surgeries: blood transfusions that lasted 4–8 hours and numerous skin grafts.<ref name="rs">{{cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/blink-182-on-drugs-barkers-crash-human-life-trumps-everything-20090806|title=Blink-182 on Drugs, Barker's Crash: "Human Life Trumps Everything"|author=Erica Futterman|date=August 6, 2009|magazine=[[Rolling Stone]]|access-date=July 15, 2011|archive-date=September 25, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110925044530/http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/blink-182-on-drugs-barkers-crash-human-life-trumps-everything-20090806|url-status=live}}</ref> "There were times when they were talking about amputating my foot because I didn't have enough skin on my body for my grafts," he said. Barker also developed [[Posttraumatic stress disorder|post-traumatic stress disorder]], made worse by the intense guilt he felt knowing Still was not supposed to be on the plane. During his time in the hospital, Barker was in so much pain that he was calling friends, offering them $1 million to help him end his life.<ref>{{cite web|date=October 21, 2015|title=Blink-182's Travis Barker Recounts Death Wishes After Plane Crash|url=https://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/blink-182s-travis-barker-recounts-death-wishes-plane/story?id=34577593|access-date=February 25, 2019|website=ABC News|language=en|archive-date=February 26, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190226045856/https://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/blink-182s-travis-barker-recounts-death-wishes-plane/story?id=34577593|url-status=live}}</ref>
