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..."

Travis Barker Is Out Of The Hospital

Travis Barker checked out of the Grossman Burn Center in Los Angeles friday. He was transferred there from the Burn Center in Georgia. He's now hanging out at home and recovering from the burns he received in the plane crash last month.
Famewhoring ex-wife Shanna Moakler said, "I was supposed to go with [Travis] to South Carolina, and at the last minute, I had this gnarly feeling and said, 'I don't think we should fly together anymore. God forbid something ever happened ... our kids wouldn't have both parents. Instead of flying a commercial flight back home, they decided to take a private jet. He e-mailed me pictures of the plane and wrote, 'It's really small and scary.' I had a bad feeling, but didn't want to sound strange, so I said, 'Be safe.' "
When Shanna was asked why Travis made the comment on his blog about not seeing her since the first week he was in the hospital, she answered, "Trav and I are so crazy. We are off for one week, on the next. I would never abandon anyone in his condition, and I have made sure he had a support system. My feelings are deeply hurt. I wish him a speedy recovery and am thankful he's alive."

SURE, YEAH... WE BELIEVE YA...UH HUH...
