DJ AM has just filed a lawsuit in the plane crash that killed four people and seriously injured him last September.
According to TMZ, AM, a.k.a. Adam Goldstein, claims as the jet reached takeoff speed the pilots became aware one or more of the tires had blown. The suit says, "Rather than proceed to takeoff, they decided to abort and/or reject the takeoff in a negligent manner." The plane overshot the runway and burst into flames.
