YouTuber who intentionally crashed plane speaks out before prison sentence

[@phuttig1944]

He doesn't take responsibility for anything. He wanted to interview for further screen time. The guy is an absolute narcissist.

[@Bvixger]

Probably part of his plea deal to go online and say something

[@sithe0]

[@BuckyBarnesNC]

@@blizzardjm​​⁠No he made money off of this, that’s why he’s still smiling in this interview. How do you not notice that? He knows he will continue to make money. He’s smiling the whole time because he knows after 6 months he will be financially fine. How do you not see that?

[@MidnightWingFox]

The smile and smirk he has while telling this story.... Definitely is still not taking it seriously.

Not only did they get a view out of you, they got a comment as well. You helped fund this.

[@Tortilla.Reform]

He acts like he just made a mistake he regrets after jumping out of the plane; he paid a helicopter to recover the plane after the fact, mechanics to break the plane down, and hid the parts in multiple places like a serial killer disposing of a body, and consistently lied to investigators. Nevermind the meticulous planning beforehand he claims he made for the safety of everyone else

I don’t think his smile is him being “happy with himself.” If you’ve watched his interviews since he was a kid, that smile is clearly him being nervous and it’s a coping mechanism.

[@skahler]

Remorse for what??? Nobody got hurt! And we all know he did his research well ahead of time. His chances of killing someone were literally greater than 1 in a million. (the math is very easy to do when you consider the remoteness of the area and the # of likely hikers in the area, combined with the square mileage of the plane's likely landing area.

[@pooky3672]

"I knew it was a mistake the second I jumped out of the plane". Yeah, that's why he kept on filming, pretended to wander about the wilderness, went to the wreckage, retrieved the footage, which he later published on youtube, and destroyed evidence.

[@sphixion]

And he says he didn’t know he was breaking any laws. If you’ve gone as far as he, and you have to actually acquire a pilots license, you by then know exactly what laws you would be breaking by doing that. He should’ve never been given the opportunity to re-acquire a pilots license.

People mistake the word “I take full responsibility” that’s not how it’s used. Taking full responsibility is used when a crime is committed and the authorities have no clue who did it and you turn yourself in and confess you committed the crime. That’s full responsibility. Not getting caught and taking full responsibility.

how tf did he get 6 months..

[@alyssao.9577]

Part of this took place out of my local airport. This is ridiculous. Im incredibly suprised that this didnt result in a wildfire. Im also suprised he didnt consult an attorney prior to the stunt and he should file a lawsuit against whoever provided the 'legal' 'advice' which reccomended that he remove and destroy the wreckage, because that was probability "legal malpractice" if that person is an attorney.

[@traumatizedchaoschronicles]

Firstly, I thought I heard his pilots license was permanently revoked?? Second, maybe they should think about his driver's license too? If he'll do stunts like this... Second, I'm fairly convinced that he didn't "fully regret it as soon as he jumped out of the plane" because if that was the case, one, in order for someone to have regret over their own actions, they need to have a few points of intelligence, and two, if you just had a few points of intelligence, you wouldn't upload this for the world to see.

Yeah and he said he put the video online because "he was just glad to be alive" that doesn't even make sense since he faked the engine failure and had a parachute on; he was never in any danger..

[@WarrenPostma]

The FAA needs a new Trevor Jacobs regulation. Parachuting out of the pilot seat of an aircraft is an automatic lifetime PPL ban. You take off in that aircraft, you bring it down somewhere, under pilot control, even if it's on fire. That's the deal. Real pilots think about other people, Trevor did not, and continues to grin about his own ignorance (he didn't know he comitted 5 felonies). That's worse than knowing, if true, but it's not true, Trevor is a massive serial liar. He confesses in this interview to massive culpable ignorance, because he thinks its a better look than narcissist playboy. It was your responsibility to KNOW the law, and to know how to safely operate that aircraft, Trevor. If Trevor had shared his plans with any other licensed pilots, what do you think that pilot would say to him, or to the FAA? He didn't know. My ass he didn't know. He knew, and the fact that he kept what he was planning to do a secret proves he knew it was neither legally, or morally acceptable. Who did he brief? His lawyer. He tried to get away with this, knowing it was completely illegal, and using legal counsel to figure out how to dodge the NTSB.

[@BradiKal61]

Jeez. This guy just wont quit with the BS. Saying "mistake" is a total cop out. Nothing about what he did was a mistake, except maybe thinking he was smarter than his viewing audience. The open door, the nose down trim, the sport parachute, the lack of an engine out checklist, the fire extinguishers in his pant cuffs, the retrieval and disposal of the wrecked plane, all were bonehead mistakes by a narcissist who thinks he can con anybody.
