What horrible news to wake up to
:(
I wish stars would let proffesionals let them fly them around. This is all too familar.
My Dear Friend,
I want you to know that the plane was piloted by "professionals". Jim Bland was a neighbor of mine. Not only was he a top notch professional, but he was a wonderful husband and father; a wonderful neighbor, etc. Your comment is insensitive and one that shows that you do not know your facts. You love to see yourself in print and it does not seem to matter who you hurt or what you say to offend others.
Dan,
You are right Jim was a very professional pilot. One of the best. He is missed by all. We wish his wife and daughter our deepest sympathy.
We knew Jim from No.Island where he worked with Customs. Several of us would love to attend his memorial service but we've lost touch with the Old Customs guys from Jim's group. Do you know anyone that might have information?

What I want to know is all these blog sites are only mentioning Travis Barker and DJ AM who, unfortunately, got critically burned. What about the rest of the people WHO LOST THEIR LIVES on the plane!? What the hell? It doesn't even mention their names. All any of these sites say is, and four others.
I live 5 minutes from the airport where the crash occured. The plane crashed into a grassy embankment, not a wall. My husband went by the crash site at 5am and called to tell me.
It is such a tragedy that this happened!
a professional was flying the plane! Don't you pay attention?!?!?
The professional pilots, a man and a woman, were among the dead. it hit an embankment. Barker went in an ambulance to the hospital, which tells me he is likely to be fine, if not as pretty. tmz.com/2008/09/20/travis-barker-dj-am-crash-photos/
