DJ AM Plane Litigation Drags On

Now, Parties Involved Are Suing Each Other

Two of the parties who were sued because of a plane crash involving several well-known entertainers have sued Learjet and Bombardier, saying the plane involved had "unreasonably dangerous defects" which caused the accident.

Global Exec Aviation and ITAS have filed suit against the manufacturers. The two companies owned the plane which went down, killing four people on board and severely injuring the radio personality DJ AM (Adam Goldstein) and former Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker. They have settled lawsuits with several of the parties involved, but now seek reimbursement for those losses as well as additional damages in excess of $1 million, according to TMZ.com.

The accident occurred September 29th, 2008, on takeoff from Columbia, SC. According to the NTSB, the beginning of the takeoff roll appeared normal, then sparks were observed as the airplane traveled along the runway. At about 136 knots, the crew attempted to reject the takeoff, 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.

The probable cause report for the accident has not yet been completed.
