Travis Barker has just married Kourtney Kardashian during their glamorous wedding in Italy.While the jet-settting lifestyle has become synonymous with the Kardashians and their friends, Travis has a haunting experience of air travel, and couldn't even walk onto a plane for more than ten years.The Blink-182 drummer was flying to LA via private Learjet from Columbia South Caroline when it burst into flames in September 19, 2008.As the plane was taking off the tyres blew up and the out of control plane veered off the end of the runway and crashed through a fence, bursting into flames.The smash killed three of Travis's closest friends and he escaped sliding down the wing, but was set alight, almost losing his foot and being left with burns on over 65% of his body.

Adam 'DJ AM' Goldstein also made it off the jet but died from a drug overdose twelve months later. Travis told the Joe Rogan Experience: "When I jumped through the emergency exit when the plane blew up, I was in such a hurry to exit the plane I jumped right into the jet, which is full of fuel."My whole body lit up.

I had jet fuel in my whole body. I burped jet fuel for almost three months."When I jumped into the jets … I started running … I was ripping off my clothes because that's what my instinct told me to do … but little did I know I was still on fire because I was soaked in jet fuel."My right foot almost didn't make it.

That was the thing that was most soaked, my shoes and socks."I was running towards a highway and I hear some guy yelling, 'stop, drop and roll', and I heard it through all the chaos of sirens and everything."I stopped, dropped and rolled, and the only thing still on fire was my feet.
