Travis Barker: Thankful To Be Alive!

Travis Barker is so thankful to be alive.  Barker, after surviving a plane crash leaving four people dead, gave his first interview to Us Weekly.  He is being treated in Los Angeles for second and third degree burns that cover the lower half of his body.  Barker confesses the following:

“I hate planes,” says Barker.  “My biggest fear ever is to be involved in a plane crash, so when that happened … well, I’m just thankful to be alive! I’m just grateful to be here at all.”
How are you doing?
“I am doing the best I can possibly be. I’m so anxious to get out of here. …I’ve just been in surgery after surgery. I have third degree burns basically from my feet up to my waist and both hands. One of my hands was second degree burns and one was third degree burns. I’m trying to have a quick recovery and play the drums again and be able to hold my kids again. [Barker has two children, Landon, 5, and Alabama, 2, with Moakler.] I’m going nuts not being able to see them and spend time with them!”

I cannot believe he was scared of planes and then gets into a plane crash.  That is like the worst nightmare ever!  I used to be soooo scared of planes.  It was like my worst fear.  I cannot even imagine what he went through.  My heart goes out to DJ AM and Travis Barker.  My thoughts and prayers are with them in their healing process.
