Who is Trevor Jacob YouTuber who crashed plane for views in viral video, net worth, latest update, Reddit
Former snowboarder and YouTuber Trevor Jacob is 29 years old. He originally held a private pilot certificate, but he no longer has that privilege since, as he stated in his plea deal, he lied about the aircraft’s complete lack of power in order to crash it and gain views for his YouTube channel. He has previously referred to himself as an accomplished skydiver and pilot.
On November 24, 2021, the ‘I Crashed My Plane’ video was shot. He departed aboard a 1940 Taylorcraft from Lompoc City Airport for Mammoth Lakes, California, as planned. He said in his YouTube video that he intended to scatter Johnny Strange’s ashes near Mammoth Lakes in memory of his late closest buddy.
After reporting that the aircraft had malfunctioned 35 minutes into the flight and while holding a selfie stick, Jacob eventually parachuted out of the plane. In the meantime, the plane in issue was outfitted with a number of cameras so that Jacob could efficiently record the allegedly broken aircraft. Jacob safely landed the plane, then hiked over to the wreckage to retrieve the video from the cameras that were attached to the aircraft.
The Charges Against Trevor Jacob Against His Crash Felony
Jacob admitted to a felony charge of hindering a federal investigation and now faces 20 years in jail. He confessed to intentionally crashing his jet into the ground in order to gain more social media views.
The maximum possible term for the charge against Jacob—one count of destruction and concealment with the intent to obstruct a federal investigation—is 20 years in federal prison.
The small single-engine plane that Jacob intentionally crashed in California’s Los Padres National Forest in December 2021, according to US authorities, had its wreckage incinerated.
His pilot’s licence was revoked last year, and he is expected to make his initial court appearance in the coming weeks. He has a net worth of $100,000-$1 million.
