travis barkerTravis Barker is apparently blaming the pilots and defective equipment for the plane crash which nearly killed him in September.

Along with the mother of his bodyguard Charles “Che” Still, who along with assistant Chris Baker and the pilots Sarah Lemmon & James Bland did die in the incident, Travis has filed a lawsuit with the Los Angeles County Superior Court to sue Bombardier Inc, Clay Lacy Aviation and Goodyear Tire and Rubber.

The suit claims that the crash happened when “one or more of the tires failed leaving tire debris and portions of airplane components along the 8,600 foot runway” but “[The plane’s] landing gear, tires, wheels, brakes, reverse thrust system, squat switches and component parts were [also] not airworthy.”

But more than just mechanical failure, the suit adds that the pilots then made a “a negligent attempt to abort takeoff”: “The pilots were either poorly trained and/or failed to follow their training. The pilots’ 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.”

As well as the four fatalities, Travis was severely burned around his arms and torso while fellow passenger DJ AM was burned on the upper torso and head.

Travis is suing for compensation to cover his physical pain and disfigurement, psychological and emotional distress, and loss of earnings capacity as well as to recuperate his medical expenses.

On the final show of MTV’s TRL last week, he revealed that after a series of operations he’s feeling better and has already got back behind his drum kit.
