LOS ANGELES California (X17online) - The cockpit voice recordings from the learjet crash that injured drummer Travis Barker and DJ AM have been released by the Federal Aviation Administration.
In the recordings, the pilot tells air traffic controllers the plane is “going off the end” of the runway.
“Roll the equipment, we’re going off the end,” co-pilot James Bland says on the recordings, released Tuesday.
The pilots words are the last recorded before the accident that killed the pilot and 3 others on September 19th.
Controllers at the Columbia, S.C., airport can also be heard on the recordings working to divert other planes and calling for emergency personnel after the jet ran off the runway, ripped through a fence and came to rest in flames
Aviation officials have said cockpit recordings showed the jet’s crew thought a tire had blown before takeoff, but those sounds were not in the files released Tuesday.
National Transportation Safety Board officials have said pieces of tire were recovered about 2,800 feet from where the plane started its takeoff down the 8,600-foot runway.
