Travis Barker speaks out the plane crash incident after being recently released from the hospital for second and third degree burns. He stated to Us Weekly:

On the crash:

“I hate planes,” he tells the mag. “My biggest fear ever is to be involved in a plane crash, so when that happened…well, I’m just thankful to be alive! I’m just grateful to be here at all.”

On his experience in the hospital:

“I’m so anxious to get out of here…I’ve been in surgery after surgery. I have third-degree burns basically from my feet up to my waist and both hands.”

On his children:

“I’m going nuts not being able to see them and spend time with them!”
“I’m trying to have a quick recovery and play the drums again and be able to hold my kids again,” he says.

It is good to see that a person can go through so much and still keep a positive uplifting spirit. I’d be pretty negative myself had a good portion of my skin turned to charcoal instantly and my friends died all around me. Guess that’s life.
