Only a month after a deadly plane crash, Adam "DJ AM" Goldstein returned to his residency at PURE Nightclub in Las Vegas Tuesday night. Goldstein looked to be in good spirits as he manned the turntables.
And Wednesday morning, the National Transportation Safety Board released a new update on the crash that killed four people, and injured both DJ AM and his good friend Travis Barker.
The NTSB report stated: "On September 19, 2008, at about 11:53 p.m. EDT, a Learjet Model 60 (N999LJ) overran runway 11 while departing Columbia Metropolitan Airport (CAE), Columbia, South Carolina and destined for Van Nuys, California. Tire debris and portions of airplane components were found along the 8,600 foot runway.
"According to witnesses and initial information, the beginning of the takeoff roll appeared normal, then sparks were observed as the airplane traveled along the runway. Just after the V1 speed callout, at about 136 knots, the crew reacted to a sound consistent with a tire failure, however they were unable to stop the airplane before exiting the runway. The airplane continued beyond the runway blast pad and through the approximately 1,000 foot runway safety area while striking airport lighting, navigation facilities, a perimeter fence and concrete marker posts. The airplane then crossed a roadway and came to rest where it struck an embankment on the far side of the road. Evidence of a fuel fire began on the airport side of the roadway.
"The two crewmembers and two of the four passengers were fatally injured; the other two passengers suffered serious injuries. The aircraft was destroyed by extensive post-crash fire."
