The
2008 South Carolina Learjet 60 crash occurred just before midnight on September 19, 2008, when a
Learjet 60 (
registration ) crashed while taking off from
Columbia Metropolitan Airport in
South Carolina. The weather at the time was cool, dry, and clear. The plane hit runway lights and crashed through the boundary fence, crossing South Carolina Highway 302 (SC 302/Edmund Highway/Airport Boulevard), and coming to rest on an embankment by the side of the highway. No one on the ground was hurt, but four of the six people on the plane (including both
pilots) died in the crash, while the other two,
Travis Barker and
Adam Goldstein, suffered severe burns. The plane was a
charter flight taking people who had participated at a free concert in
Five Points earlier that night to
Van Nuys, California.
