Travis Barker Files Suit...

TMZ.com reports that Travis Barker and the mother of his deceased bodyguard filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles against Bombardier Inc., Clay Lacy Aviation and Goodyear Tires.
In the lawsuit, Travis blames fucked-up equipment and the pilots for the crash. Both the pilot and the co-pilot were killed in the crash.
The suit states: "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 on board and was a substantial factor in causing the crash and resultant injuries and deaths."
The suit goes on to say that the plane's "...landing gear, tires, wheels, brakes, reverse thrust system, squat switches and component parts were not airworthy..."
