Travis Barker is filing a negligence lawsuit against the owners and makers of the Learjet that left four people dead and the former Blink 182 drummer, along with DJ AM, severely burnt. According to recordings released by the Federal Aviation Administration this week, the plane had hit a speed of 153 mph when a tire blew. The Monday morning quarterback consensus is the pilots should’ve taken off and burnt off fuel. Instead they drove off the runway which brings us to Travis’ suit. E! News reports:
Per court documents filed Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court, Barker’s camp believes that “one or more of the tires failed, leaving tire debris and portions of airplane components along the 8,600 foot runway” and the pilot made a “negligent attempt to abort the takeoff.”
“The pilot’s decision was a breach of their duty owed to the passengers onboard and was a substantial factor in causing the crash and resultant injuries and deaths,” the suit continues.
Moreover, the jet’s “landing gear, tires, wheels, brakes, reverse thrust system, squat switches and component parts were not airworthy.”
“Statistically speaking, it’s still the safest way to travel.” – Superman
Then again, this is coming from an asshole who wears his underwear outside his pants. I’ll take the bus.
I know its “your” Rembrandt mind your business …
Only in America does somebody face death, only to be given a second chance, and make a shitload of money from the experience and “negligence” of the situation. It’s asshats like this that are the reason why insurance is expensive, and why to get medical care requires $$$$$$$. Fuck you Travis “the bitch” Barker. And fuck all those same kind of people that sue because they put a goddamn cup of coffee between their legs while driving and burn themselves. Fuck the lawyers who defend these people with $$$ in their eyes. All you all are going straight to hell in a handbasket.
I heard he’s pretty good with a strap-on dildo because he has an inchworm. Now a toasted inchworm.
Karma, bitches!
Karma would be a plane crashing into his house while his cocker spaniel, Liberace, is giving him head. Investigators find his severed penis in the dogs mouth. Everyone on the plane survives, fortunately. Barker doesn’t.
“All you all are going straight to hell in a handbasket.”
Please provide proof that your imaginary hell, imaginary heaven and imaginary gawd exist.
Just what I thought.
Great post up to that sentence, anyway! Next contestant!
You guys are so messed up. How much do you think it costs to fly a LearJet? Probably more in one trip that some of you make in a year. It isn’t perfectly reasonable to expect a higher degree in the duty of care, on part of the pilots and the manufacturers of such a plane? Why the F*ck would you fly on a private plane if it isn’t safer than commercial airlines?
Take away his celebrity status, and all you have is a guy who nearly died in an accident on a VERY expensive flight, through no fault of his own. I hope he prevails big time in a lawsuit.
I think its ridiculous that plane crashes on such high-class jets even happen still through human error.
Gods way of saying your on too many drugs. And the devils way of saying your a tool.
Either way…no one likes you.
“Gods way of saying your on too many drugs. And the devils way of saying your a tool.”
Hello, asswipe! Any reasonable person reading your post will agree that you’re barely literate based on your use of “your” where “you’re” is the correct word.
Anyway, if you can prove that your heroes “god” & “the devil” exist then you’re free to credit them with manipulating a plane crash and letting this douchebag live while other innocent people lost their lives.
Meanwhile, back in reality, making absurd claims that you haven’t the slightest chance of ever proving makes you as much of a douchebag as Barker.
This dude is a grade A fucking douchebag!
Sure I feel bad for the guy,…his plane crashed and some of his friends died, but really shouldn’t that be the time you get all introspective and think…
“Hmm,..maybe God did this to me because I’m a asshat and I make really crappy music, maybe I should just cut those things out.”
Not
“Hey I survived, how can I cash in on this?!”
Turtle-headed twat. The only negligence the pilots were guilty of was not taking him with them.
Danklin like Ari said it depends on whats known as V1. V1 is the speed at which you have to make a go-no go decision. If you are above that speed you go even if an engine fails. If you reach that speed you have to go because there is not enough runway to stop. It isnt a choice for the pilots to abort above that speed. I’m nor sure of the speeds on the Lear, but I’m pretty sure V1 is usually below 150kias.
Where can I get some tattoos on my neck. That is going to look SWEET in say 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15 or 20 years.
Travis, you rocked in the 90′s and have the Tatts to show everyone.
Your life has really turned out perfect.
It’s a compensation seeking legal action based on operator negligence TO THE EXTREME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TBLTC,
I guess your free to believe whatever you want until the end. (and i’d add the ‘re if i cared)
By the way Barker looks, you can tell he believes in one of the two sides. So either he’s
A. Playing a big trick on himself. (which any chump on the street can do)
B. Believes in God/Devil
and without the need of proof therefore:
“Gods way of saying you’re on too many drugs. And the devils way of saying you’re a tool. ”
And again, its obvious neither one of them likes you.
God takes people from this earth for a purpose. Barker wasn’t taken.
The Devil is playing you like a….tool. And he doesn’t like you either. Hence the plane crash.
Goodluck barker.
