Guys here is my reaction on the video published by Trevor Jacob. I personally think that it was planned. FAA and NTSB are investigating the case now. I just hope that no one would do the same or similar trick again. That is very dangerous!

I feel sad for the poor innocent airplane...
I was the 1,000th person to like this video. I win nothing!
They have now found frames in the video were you can clearly see fire extinguishers in his pant legs.
Excellent work, Dennys. Trevor’s title was accurate “I crashed my plane” - he did crash his plane. His plane didn’t crash, he crashed his plane.
Agreed! Great job w/ the video. So many things bother me about this. I’ll list just a few (although I’m sure it’s all been said in other comments)!
1. As mentioned, the ad pitch that he gives immediately after talking about his deceased friend being the reason for the trip. What’s worse is that he shamelessly uses the death of his friend as a sort of Macguffin, to propel his fake story forward! That’s just disgusting!
2. That plane could have easily started an enormous fire in all that dry brush!
3. He destroyed an 80 year old perfectly fine airplane which just makes me sad!
4. The financial burden stemming from the investigation, is paid for by American taxpayers!
5. The entire stunt is offensive to his subscribers intelligence! ! It’s never a good idea to lie & emotionally manipulate your customer base!
And BTW, did you notice that he had a fire extinguisher 🧯 hidden under his pant leg when he jumped? It’s not funny but I did kinda chuckle when I saw that !
A Freudian slip, right there.
By the way, I literally laugh hysterically when people try to tell me that I should be ashamed of myself because poor Trevor experienced explosive decompression and he was sucked out the door. Clearly we need to spend more money in America to teach some science :)
Invent a better Latch, a strong Latch, an american Latch ;-)
The decompression bits are sarcasm.
@@DARisse-ji1yw You mean it's not real? Funny me ;-)
I’m sure they’re just trolling because of this video. It’s a parody and pretty funny.
ua-cam.com/video/PRwV9rn2794/v-deo.html
There is some sarcastic video of how he got "sucked out of the airplane" )))
The absolute hubris of this Trevor guy to suggest that other pilots could learn from him intentionally scuttling his plane.
i mean, it surely was an opportunity for some Pilots to train their detective-skills, right? Love how everybody took his video apart.
Great lesson what not to do. " Try to grow your channel, get huge legal troubles instead!"
The absolute hubris of this Trevor guy...You mean Trevor Jacobs The Airplane-Crashing Asshole, don't you?
At least one pilot has recreated the flight in a similar aircraft. He shut down to idle, turned around and glided back to nearest airport, had height for a normal circuit and landing. On the way he passed over lots of farm fields that appeared to be landable.
i saw someone did that but landed in that flat spot this guy pointed out
@@TheRealSovereignCitizens I think that was in a sim, though. But it should be well possible in real life, especially with the low stall speed of this Taylorcraft plane.
Schooby1961 did
Such a thoughtful 💭 skydiver, he forgot the goggles but remembered to wear a fire extinguisher underneath his pants.
You know what they say about the pants of a liar. 🔥
Oh yes, those are the things to be ever so thoughtful of in aviation --- to aviate, communicate, and navigate --- and to ALWAYS take your parachute, your fire extinguisher, and your Glock with you. After all, you never know when you're going to crash a plane --- unless of course you do it on purpose like this airplane-crashing asshole did.
I'm honestly surprised that pilots are not expressing more anger over this stunt, especially when Mr. Jacob dressed it all up as educational - 'Always wear a 'chute, y'all'... I actually shedded a tear over the death of his buddy, but Trevor is now just as shady as those UA-camrs who 'save' poor kittens and puppies from dire situations that they, themselves, put them in. All for views.
Who knows if those ashes are even real...
@@BrunodeSouzaLino probably was charcoal briquettes the day before.
@Giuliano Matrix You can't tell where ashes come from as they all look exactly the same. He does a sponsor slot on the same cut he shows the ashes. I don't think a person who risked a forest fire or hitting something alive with a fake plane crash has any common sense.
@@BrunodeSouzaLino "You can't tell where ashes come from as they all look exactly the same."
So he has ashes of something that is not even mouse sized. There is no way human ashes is only that little volume.
This isn't jacobs mistake to jump out of the airplane when his engine failed.
The mistake was being such a disgusting human to set up a plane crash.
He should apologize to aviation community, and faa should take his licence and I hope he will end up in jail.
He also has a fire extinguisher in his pants, it's in his right pants leg. It was Bryan from the channel JustPlaneSilly that noticed the fire extinguisher in his right leg pants, Bryan posted zoomed in pictures on his YT channels community tab. He probably took the fire extinguisher so he could put out the fire if the plane would start to burn so he could save his cameras.
@@AviationNut this is just mind blowing and pathetic at the same time.
It would be best to hear that this has been his last flight ever, except for commercial on pax seat
@@AviationNut that would have to be a magic fire extinguisher
@@kubapomykaa7319
I would prefer he just apologize to the whole human race for being such a narcissist shit stain. Have you heard his story about him beating the shit out of his dog as he heroically (in his mind) saved his other plane from crashing?
I can't believe he honestly believes he's gonna get away with this
Me neither, he wanted the attention despite the punishment. He has got the attention, hasn't he? I think he needs help asap, a good therapist.
@@sam-nariman6236 amen to that! He's a major risk to everyone's safety around him
If the authorities are able to recover all the raw footage, they should just release it on UA-cam and let the public investigate everything.
Great video, thank you for coming at this from the professional pilot perspective! Also, thank you for finding the crash site in my last video. I enlarged it and included it at time=8:51 in my current video.
Nany thanks, for credits, Scooby! I subscribed to you! You have a really great channel!
Thank you for wearing clothes!
I really loved the way you carefully demolished the idiot's claim of engine failure. Your knowledge of the way his plane worked and your experience made such a convincing argument that this was a stunt. I had had my suspicions when I first heard the story. Thank you for a fascinating video.

There was an airport within gliding range (1:9 with 4 miles reserve)
Yess!!

@@AviationNut 2 fire extinguishers. He also removed the camera behind the seat which he then used to film his jump. In an emergency situation, who would do this?
That would be enough even for a paraglider...🤣🤘
I checked out the area around the crash site at 34°48'53.47"N 119°57'40.18"W as reported. That's Burro Canyon you're seeing there, and it has a lot of places to land, some even better than what you see in his video. Also, there's farmland about 11 miles to the east and about 8 miles to the east southeast. There's a ridge he'd have to go over to take that shorter route, and it's 3,300 feet, but it's only 5.5 miles away so he could have easily cleared that landed on flat fields at 1,500 ft elevation. The longer route to the east, the terrain only gets as high as 2,400 feet, and then there are some nice fields to land in at around 600 ft elevation.
As a Bugsmasher pilot myself, I would never traverse over mountains like that without first scouring the map for places I might land in an emergency.
YOU could have landed it.. the probably would have drilled into the ground in at least a dozen different spots
Just for a test, I used MSFS to emulate an engine out at that spot in an Airbus. I was able to land it in a field.
I think filming this for UA-cam may have just earned ol' Trevor an ORANGE jumpsuit.
He went back to the plane for equipment that would help with his UA-cam survival - his cameras.
I suspect there was no fire (partially, at least) because the engine and exhaust had sufficient gliding time to cool down, the ignition was switched off (or it would have restarted without him when the prop started windmilling again) and the aircraft had no battery power, so there's no source for a spark that might ignite anything. And luck obviously played a significant part, as the planning of this stunt was clearly deficient. The extinguishers strapped to his calves were likely just in case there's a small patch of smouldering from a go-pro battery, as it's obvious those memory cards were his reason for walking to the wreck site.
Have you considered the wing tanks may have been filled with water?
@@duanemansel5704 damn, I hadn't considered that. I thought it was weird when Mentour Pilot (IIRC) suggested the right tank may have been empty along with the fuel line disconnected since it made me wonder how the plane flew level, but this could answer that.
Plus he had a drone video to pinpoint the location...conspirator involved.. and hikeD in one or more days LATER....
Let me remind pilots that people on the ground get grumpy when you fly over already, and would like to own the airspace over our house. If you insist on dropping things on us too, it could get ugly. Be careful with your airplanes; you owe it to everyone you fly over.
If it was me: Since the wing tank was disconnected, it could have been filled with water to suppress fire. The fuel float wire could have been fixed not to move, and so disguising the fuel amount. That would have minimized chance of fire to allow recovery of cameras.
That Fuel Selector was set to OFF all the way, even in the crash debris it was still in the OFF position. As far as I gathered, it's the fuel hose for an Auxillary tank, and it seems to be disconnected. This suggests that the Auxillary Tank was probably emptied anyway, to reduce possible chance of the Plane catching fire upon crashing, or was simply lacking maintenance when he bought it. The weird way, how he strapped some fire extinguishers to his legs, suggests that he was probably expecting a fire when he were to retrieve the gopros. It's all very sketchy.
It also seems that the debris has already been removed. Allegedly Trevor hired some helicopter to remove, and possibly ditch the wreckage, as he learnt that the authorities were looking into it.
Good perspective video :)
It will not be difficult for the authorities to track down the hired helicopter if Trevor did indeed remove the wreckage without authorization. That said, it’s possible that the local FSDO had the wreckage removed to a more convenient location. It the investigator is smart, he might even have gotten Trevor to pay for it! 😄
I haven’t watched any of Trevor’s videos, but I understand he has some about freight train hopping, including one where he is arrested. This wouldn’t fall under the FAA purview, but the NTSB would be interested if they get involved in the investigation. In any case, such videos shed light about Trevor’s willingness to break laws in pursuit of thrills and views-Trevor has a reckless personality. I hope the previous arrest, the intentionality of the crash, and the reckless operation of his aircraft will lead to a permanent loss of his pilot license.
A part of me hopes that Trevor has done something (move the plane, attempt to erase raw video) to trigger obstruction of justice charges. It’s not really a part of myself I should be proud of, but this jerk really needs a comeuppance. Something to “bring him down to the ground”, like a stint in federal prison. Ah, well. It probably won’t happen for years, if it happens at all.
@@MarcosElMalo2 Part of me wonders if Ridge was in on the whole thing, paid the waiver, paid the recovery and an insurance and it was all just a PR thing.
@@popsfreshenmeyer7607 the fact that Trevor removed the ridge shout-out leads me to believe that they were not at all happy with the stunt or complicit and demanded he remove it in an effort to distance themselves from this fiasco. But then again with no statement from ridge who knows.
@@jasonwebb5964 Yeah haven''t seen anything public by Ridge regarding that matter. I think someone claimed, they responded to some inquiry with the usual: We are looking into it, and that they sponsor so much stuff they can't be on top of every one of their sponsorings. Thanks for bringing this to our attention...something along those lines.
I’m glad you mentioned his friend’s ashes in the sandwich bag, SO undignified! I have seen a lot of pilot’s videos about this train wreck of a plane wreck and yours is the best, you mention things they didn’t, like the illegality of modifications on a factory built plane.
Train Wreck
of a
Plane Wreck
Please note, the engine has been changed as can be seen in this earlier video: ua-cam.com/video/6E7NlFjqpsk/v-deo.html This aircraft is a "certified" aircraft, as opposed to a "experimental" aircraft like Jacobs other aircraft N63BG. Certified aircraft may ONLY be worked on by licensed aircraft mechanics (A&P). The owner of a certified aircraft may NOT work on the aircraft, like for example changing the engine. You can not just change the engine or any other significant part in a certified aircraft. Extensive paperwork and licencing is required to change the engine in a certified aircraft. The FAA registration information on this aircraft NC29508 shows the airworthiness certificate to be valid as of 01/03/2022 (this date is the date the paperwork was recorded by the FAA and not the date info was submitted). The engine is shown to be a LYCOMING 0-145B SERIES. If this engine was LEGALLY changed, the FAA airworthiness certificate would show the engine as a CONTINENTAL. It does not! Jacobs is listed as the owner of the aircraft. A Taylorcraft BL65 in fair (certified) flyable condition could be worth between $18-$30K.
So glad that I just found your channel. Thanks for breaking down his crazy video. And that plane ✈ was beautiful. I'm sure that flight school students would have enjoyed it as a donation.
The criminal part is that UA-cam has no problem removing videos they don't agree with, but UA-cam refuses to take these type of videos down.
"My friend died paragliding into a ridge, speaking of ridge I keep one of these in my pocket at all times, just like the memory of my dead friend I keep in my heart. Ridge wallets." *proceeds to fake plane crash for likes*
One of the GOOD things about everyone being on the Internet and UA-cam is you can't do lieing stunts like this anymore, because there are hundreds of actually experienced people in the field that will shoot you down!
Surrender the rainbow back to the rightful folk of the earth !
Hi Denys, I loved your analysis of this event that has been roaming the internet, I personally agree with you, he turned of the engine and jumped out for more views and subscribers which is really bad. I’m looking forward to see the investigation outcome and keep up the great work
I'm a nervous flyer. When my pilot gets on the plane in a parachute, I'm getting off!
Especially if he has his dead friend in a sandwich baggie and tries selling me a ridge wallet.
@@jasonwebb5964 😂🤣
To me, if she’s gliding, she’s flying. I stay in the plane. Plus it’s your duty as an airman (if not your duty as a person) to dump that airplane in a safe place. Jumping out like that while your in control and the airplane isn’t falling apart, is putting your own safety over others on the ground.
man its hard to believe you are at almost 500k now Dennis, I came to your channel when you were at few thousand subs. you deserve each and every subs. keep growing ,🎉
I used to do this all the time.
In GTA V.
He should never be allowed to pilot again. He should be put on the “no fly list” and he should be locked up for 20 years
The saddest thing here is that that 1940s beauty crashed in the mountains because the guy wanted to do some idiocy !
"Who gave you the license my friend?"🤣
The camera mounts are legal. They're not permanently attached, so they do not count as a modification.
Even though he was freaking out when the land when oops he’s totally fine filming himself and the plane while skydiving with zero freak out.
Denys, I watched your complete assessment on this guy and you are right on target. And, to say that pilots should learn from his experience of..”ditching”the plane is not someone that any experienced and well trained pilot would follow. What a fool! His title of the video tells it all.”I Crash my Plane”. I didn’t even get entertained from his stunt but I was with your excellent assessment. Way to go Denys! You rock!
I think that clip of the plane flying below him was B roll. It was probably shot with a better camera with a pilot flying it at a low altitude to simulate an unmanned plane on its way down. This would mean that he had an accomplice. It just looks too smooth and professional to be a handheld phone during a jump. Notice that there was no crash clip shot from above. Besides, how could he hold a phone while managing a GoPro and his chute all at the same time? This was actually a well-executed video, even if it was an idiotic stunt.
That clip pans like a drone. Certainly he would have beat the plane back to the ground.
Exactly. You need two hands to operate a skydiving parachute. You'll often see test pilots wearing round models instead. You can't steer those, so your hands are free.
Great analysis, Captain Dennys! I think some (significan number of) people like to see that others are even sillier, more insane, more negligent, etc. than themselves and this made this hype that high acceptation rate. But this is crazy on the level of endangering others, others' properties, etc, just for a couple of hundred of more followers.
Also I would say С Новым годом, полным счастья!
Clown looked for attention, clown got it. No matter what they say, they say, he got his 5 minutes of glory. For me it's beyond stupidity, but.... he got it.
Denis giving heart to my comments only make me feel like it’s time to start my pilot license…
He won't be enjoying it so much in prison which is where he'll most likely end up.
Yep
Sure he got the attention. But he destroyed his youtube channel, his reputation and he will be known as a dumb stupid crook for the rest of his life. Not really worth it..
This was just a crazy way to deal with a engine fail. I use to fly a orange super cub and I sold it not crashed it lol. Now I got a Cessna 162 sky catcher turbo and hope never to crash it. But if I do get a engine failure I am going down with it.
last thing you do when you experience an engine failure is jumping out lol
I go with you Denys. Good analysis. Few thoughts what i thought, you also raised. First, I also thought why didn't it catch fire when it fell down from such height. I also thought of selfie stick carrying all through the incident, is it possible for a person when he is in an accident, will he be able to think of filming it! As far as I thought it was planned. I don't have as much knowledge as you have, but just as a common person in regular way I thought. But, your video is really good. Thank you for taking time to analyse this. All the best to you.
Hi captain, I read about Trevor Jacob in reddit also. Hope you have seen it. It is on r/aviation. I don't know how to post that thread here. You might have read it, I suppose.
Glad to see ya back! Hope all is well over there for ya!
The thing that also really puzzled me is that he bailed out and there were heaps of places to land his parachute but he choose a prickly bush??
Also somehow the plane didn’t explode in a fireball on impact
I would love to know his motives for the video.
"Just one more thing" ~ Lieutenant Columbo
Imagine Trevor asking for an astronaut job at NASA or spaceX. What would you do on a crisis situation? Bail! Quitting while you are streaming is not the same as quitting
In case of emergency grab sefie stick 😄
Imagine Trevor floating around in the vacuum of space with his worthless parachute.
He had several minutes to watch the plane crash and verify that it didn't catch fire as he glided with this parachute over the scene he was prepared if the plane had caught fire he would have dropped in close by he had 2 fire extinguishers taped to his legs covered by his pants you can see them as he exited the plane if you slow motion the video as he jumped out. Having two fire extinguishers tape to your legs must have been very difficult when he landed, he was darn lucky the fire extinguishers didn't get hung up when he went out the door cuz he would have went down with the plane his parachute wouldn't have done him any good then
As both a pilot and a retired detective driver’s video troubles me in oh so many ways
I think it's very important to point out Trevor using his friends ashes as a part of this dirty sceam. That just low down in my book.
I’m mostly mad because he wrecked a beautifully maintained airplane for views.
Although the risk were very small, he nevertheless might have killed a hiker or motorist on the ground. This isn't clever and he ought to go to prison.
I found your channel while investigating the nortorious Trevor Jacob “ICrashed my Airplane” nonsense. I follow Mentour, blancolirio, Dan Gryder , 74 Gearand now you. I like your analysis, scientific objectivity and ability to explain this technical stuff without flooding me with jargon. Thanks for all you do. I am now going to catch up on your other videos. Cheers!
Dennis! 400k subscribers!! WOW! Great Job Buddy! Well deserved! Congratulations!
I hope NTSB catch this guy, remove his license and sent to federal justice department!
Great video! Really glad that you are doing well!
Was waiting for you to do this! :)
Emergency checklist by trevor.
Wear full skydive gear.
Plane full of cameras.
Fly as slow as possible over jump spot.
Open your door to better look down to spot your exact jump spot.
Kill the engine, act oh no mountains.
Bail out, aim for the closest nearext clearing near the wreck.
Casually walk off the mountain to where your pickup is waiting.
And tiny fire ex in his pants ain't going to help you in case of bush fire. Better run for your life.
The zip lock baggie with ashes... If that's real, I hope ghosts/the afterlife is real so Johnny can come back and haunt him. I'm almost 100% sure that's natural unscented kitty litter but if it's real...Shame on him. I made sure my childhood best friends, my dog Reggie and my cat Oscar, had the BEST looking urns & transport cases I could find when they crossed the rainbow bridge. I would never dishonor their memory with a zip lock bag and clickbait video. You'd think he'd extend that same respect to his human friend.
Thank you trevor jacobs for learning us how to deal with emergency like this
Literally everything he did as a pilot was wrong. He followed up by doing almost everything wrong as a skydiver.
It's a small miracle he's managed to live to the age he is. FAA and USPA should pull every rating he has for both general aviation and sky diving
@@subtlename2873 do you not agree that all skydivers should keep fire extinguishers in their trouser legs?
@@RoamingAdhocrat That's where I keep my ding-dong!
You can see that he is wearing a fire extinguisher on his leg under his pants when he jumped, also the engine was painted red so it would look like the original engine that is supposed to be on it. I don't know if he did that or not but its interesting. The person who sold it to him sold it as scrap so I think you're right he bought it for this flight. I also think he had minimal fuel in it so it wouldn't catch fire. He knew a fire would really get him in trouble. He was working on the plane himself too which as you know is a no no for this type of plane
Why calling 911 if he had a working radio and could have called Mayday to ATC, considering that they had his exact position and send rescue pretty quickly? Oh I see, would be hard answer the questions afterwards, LaMia 2933 send regards.
Thanks for sharing and for your time! Cheers
I really like this take. Seemingly no prejudice, like most other commentators in the incident on UA-cam... Straight up commentary with seemingly no bias :)
Also how come I haven't bumped into your channel?
New sub here 🙂
He shows signs of a narcissist/psychopath; adrenaline junky, thrill seeking, spotlight, dishonesty and thinks he is smarter than everyone else.
And yeah, who is flying wit the door open, it’s like driving in your car with open doors.
25:47 this is a really good spot to land, Even if it would be an real engine failure, it would be possible to land.
You have new subscriber here my friend. Nice to see and hear thoughts from a professional pilot. Thanks.
My original thought seeing the original: "That didn't seem like a prudent thing to do."
My thought after seeing your video: "Holy f*ck that guy needs to be in jail. "
i like how the guy had a selfie stick "ready to go" just as he has a life threatening engine failure
ha!
what presence of mind to record the event for posterity!
what a joke....
My late father had a '46 Aeronca 11AC Chief back in the '80s. Many a flight had in that two seater. Same principles of the Taylor in terms of Tech.. same sort of 65hp Lycoming engine, i'd be guessing as well? Magneto's and Coils, hand-cranking the prop to get it going.. awesome responsibility to have placing the chocks as a 7 year old..
He had full radio avionics - operated off of total-loss Battery pack. As such, operating within Controlled Operations areas was limited, as well as not risking being out of Radio communications capability in sparsely populated areas, given it's vintage aircraft status even back then. He moved up to a more modern aircraft in his later years, for the operational capability.
That Aeronca never skipped an engine beat in the ~15 years he owned it, and it still flies today, as far as i know (still on Registry). Even as a pre-teen, i knew he constantly scanned for 'alternate landing points' in the course of a flight, and 'what if'.
This whole thing was Cringe to me. What a waste of a perfectly good airplane, for Clicks.
I don't fly an airplane and I did over 500 skydives, so my first instinct is to jump, but even I don't buy Mr. Jacob's story...
What angers me most is his disrespect of that craft.
I really wish the plane would have landed safely by it's self and that his parachute failed....
He jumped out of a perfectly good glider.
Also I do not think he pulled the stick to stop windmilling, I think he did so the plane would slow down so he could open door and jump out more easily. I think, that the propeller stopped was just a bonus for him, only he knows the truth though.
I sure as hell don't want this guy flying a plane anywhere near me.
The whole thing- including freaking out, bailing without working a checklist or trying to land- was an act. It’s clear from his other vids that he’s a competent pilot and, IRL, incredibly cool under pressure. I wouldn’t fly with him, but not because I don’t think he’s a good pilot.
It absolutely baffles me how a grown man could come up with doing something like this and actually think it was a good idea.
Love your videos
I love to be a pilot. Love your videos!!
Great video and commentary.
Great video Pilot Dennis I love this video. And guys don't crash the plane in the mountains and in other places for more views and subscribers because it can cause big wildfire and you would have to go to jail and try to restart the engine and find best place for landing.
The phone footage is all sorts of suspicious. You need two hands to operate a skydiving parachute and one of his is already too busy holding a selfie stick and the parachute loop cord. Plus...That's some skill to take a phone and hold it steady while you have five other things that could kill you if not taken care of...
I’ve only just noticed this too. So he would have to have had someone helping him film.
How did he get the footage of himself jumping out the door of the plane? Actually, how did he get any of the film of the flight from such a distance.... From take off to jump?
Thank you for this entertaining and informative video.
As a paraglider pilot I want to share few thoughts:
There are alot of better landing spots for a parachute.
Yes after such a landing there are good reasons to take the paraglider with you. If you need to stay for some time in the wild this is a good protection against cold, sun and rain.
What happened to the deployed chute while he fought his way through all those prickly looking branches? Did he land in the bushes while his chute conveniently landed in a clear spot to avoid damage? Did he repack the chute so that it was easier to carry out? I think that 'pure stupidity' videos tend to have the highest hits'.
your video is really usefull it helps me a lot in the future to become a pilot
He could of killed people ..hope he gets put in prison ...unreal
I can't wait to see that guy in jail. If you put a brick on your accelerator in your car, then just let it go by itself on purpose, that would be a very bad crime.
You are correct, if they deem this was deliberate then they may well make it an offence to fly with cameras in small planes in order to prevent somebody else recreating the same thing for views. Very stupid and selfish act if it was planned.
Hopefully the outcome will mean no-one else is stupid enough to try, so the rule is unnecessary.
I recorded videos in a glider (GoPro on a properly-fitted fastening over my shoulder, or strapped to my upper arm). DCFI asked I take them off UA-cam as they showed a few bad habits that'd draw the wrath of our regional examiner :D
Trevor has watched too many people enjoy action movies, which require willing suspension of disbelief. I doubt he thought of that concept before presenting this video, in which he makes no attempt whatsoever to be credible. Of course he had to return to the plane, or else we wouldn't have all the video of the crash! What was shown on the forward-looking interior camera, Trevor? I'd bet any amount of money the FAA has asked him exactly that question, also.
His tie bar in a airplane form is the cutest thing ever💓
I would bet good money that this will be the fastest NTSB investigation of all time. So hopefully that means by our next lifetime.
I hope so. Even if the FAA and NTSB take their normal snail pace, there's enough evidence here for criminal proceedings to start immediately.
That video's thumbnail become a meme 😂
29:49 - A tangential point in this video, but when he said being able to call 911 without a mobile signal is a myth, he was only partially correct.
At least in the United States, a 911 (emergency services) call will go through any available network. So your phone might show no signal with the provider you have a subscription with, but if there is another network covering the area when you place a 911 call, your phone will use that instead.
If you are in an extremely remote area like Trevor is in this video, though, there very well might not be any reliable coverage by any network. It still couldn't hurt to try and place a 911 call once or twice, but ideally you would have a working satellite phone and/or radio.
So he has a parachute, which no one flying these planes ever use but he doesn't even try 911 on his phone plus he has no radio and/or satellite phone? How crazy is that. Also, how's he supposed to navigate once he hits the ground? He wants us to believe that he jumped and got picked up by strangers or whatever just by luck... Wow 😂
Wow I reversed the Video to see if I missed something, even before You said that thing with the Advertisement... He can't do this! To talk about his passed Friend and in the same Sentence coming up with this Wallet Ad... So right at the beginning you notice what this guy is up to.
I was like... What is up with that "Oh MAY God" sticker.
After watching: OH MAY GOD!
This entire debacle is a you know what show. He's screwed, and rightfully so.
Great video - thank you!!!
He landed in the bushes for dramatic effect..
I Love You So Much This Episode Is Really Interesting
Yes, it’s good to point out that all of his videos have made up stunts..this was just the next level of what he was already doing. What’s crazy is reading through those comments and seeing how many people believed his wacky stories.
I watched this one a long time ago:
ua-cam.com/video/V7suwdqsxiY/v-deo.html
He takes his dog with him flying and the dog jumps in his lap. He loses control, or something, ends up flying over military air space. I thought that was it for him, no more flying. But, they let him keep going, and now this is where things are at.
The camera in the rear cockpit you mentioned: at 10:20 pointed at the instruments is actually his selfie stick that in his state of panic managed to find, turn on, start recording before jumping out of the plane with it, I doubt it was recording anything as he would’ve known he needed that battery to be fresh enough to capture the jump and the hike to finding the wreckage.
Then why is the camera turned on when he takes off?
He was looking for a specific place to "initiate" his stunt. I'm certain the "kind strangers" probably popped smoke when they spotted him so they could pick him up later. I can't wait til they come forward with the real story!
Around the 26 minute mark of your video (not sure where in his) when it shows propeller. Is it windmilling? Or did the engine restart due to compression caused by it windmilling, and the mags being left in the "on" position instead of grounded out? Looks to me like the engine may actually be running again, but it's really hard to say...
Thanks for this video and sharing your analysis. Coming to Jacob Trevor's youtube channel soon "I Crashed my Paraglider" with eight, yes eight live GoPro cameras.
