Dashboard video shows fiery SC plane crash

West Columbia, S.C. – Screams can be heard above the din of first responders’ sirens in newly released video from a police dashboard camera showing the fiery Learjet crash that killed four people and injured former Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker.

Barker and celebrity disc jockey DJ AM aren’t visible on the 35-minute video obtained Monday from the South Congaree Police Department under the Freedom of Information Act.

Barker and DJ AM were critically injured in the Friday night crash but are expected to recover.

Earlier Monday, a South Carolina coroner said the pilot and co-pilot died from smoke inhalation and burns, and that two passengers were killed by impact-related injuries.

The plane crashed while trying to take off. Federal officials have said the crew thought a tire blew and tried to abort the takeoff but couldn’t stop the plane.

Elvis Is Alive Museum for sale again on eBay

St. Louis – The Elvis Is Alive Museum is once again for sale on eBay.

The museum’s owner, Andy Key of Mississippi, says military duties will keep him away from home for at least five months.

The 39-year-old Key set a minimum starting bid of $15,000 on the listing, which ends Friday. He bought the museum on eBay last year for $8,300.

Key told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that he hopes someone local buys the contents of the museum and continues running it in Hattiesburg, Miss.

The collection includes photographs, books, FBI files, DNA reports and other memorabilia that aim to support the theory that Elvis never died.

Bill Beeny, a Baptist minister who founded the museum in 1990 in Missouri, says he has no plans to buy it back.

Blaine’s latest stunt – hanging upside-down

New York – What’s David Blaine up to? Oh, just hanging around.

The magician-daredevil proclaimed, “I’m doin’ all right,” after starting his latest endurance challenge Monday: 60 hours hanging upside-down, without a net, above Wollman Rink in Manhattan’s Central Park.

Blaine – sounding nasal from sinus pressure – kept smiling while describing the “enormous push of blood” that made it feel like his head was “about to explode.”

As a child, he was intrigued when Harry Houdini dangled from a crane by his ankles while escaping a straitjacket.

Said Blaine: “The legs go pin and needle very fast.” Stretches – kind of an upside-down sit-up – seem to help.

Blaine, 35, is scheduled to exit from his perch at the climax of a live, two-hour ABC special, “David Blaine: Dive of Death,” on Wednesday.

Isaac Hayes leaves part of estate to foundation

Memphis, Tenn. – Isaac Hayes has left his estate to his wife, Adjowa, his children and the Isaac Hayes Foundation, which promotes literacy, music and nutrition, according to his will.

The will was filed last week in Probate Court. The Commercial Appeal in Memphis reported the value and contents of Hayes’ estate hasn’t been filed.

Part of Hayes’ humanitarian work included building a school in Ghana.

The deep-voiced soul singer died Aug. 10. Hayes, 65, was found unconscious at his Memphis residence.

Crime writer hospitalized

Las Vegas – Celebrity crime writer Dominick Dunne was taken to a Las Vegas hospital Monday after he said he was stricken by pain while watching testimony in the O.J. Simpson armed robbery-kidnapping trial.

Reached by telephone, Dunne, 82, said he was being checked by doctors and expected to be released later in the day.

“Tell them not to worry. I’m fine,” he said. “They’re going to check me out and I’ll go back to the hotel and watch the trial there today.”

Dunne left the courtroom after a court marshal noticed his distress. He was checked by paramedics in the hallway before he was wheeled away on a gurney, sitting up and talking.

The Vanity Fair magazine writer has spent decades covering society and celebrity trials, including Simpson’s murder trial in which he was acquitted in 1995 of killing his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman.

Dunne has been fighting bladder cancer and has said in recent interviews that the Simpson trial would likely be his last.

Run-DMC, Metallica nominated for Rock Hall

Cleveland – Run-D.M.C. could “Walk This Way” into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

The 1980s rap act, along with Metallica and the Stooges are among the nine nominees for next year’s hall of fame class, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation announced Monday.
