Influencer Trevor Jacob recently admitted that he intentionally crashed an aeroplane in November 2021 to get views on YouTube.
The 29-year-old had taken a solo flight out of Santa Barbara, California with a parachute and a selfie stick. His plane had mounted cameras to capture his journey. After 35 minutes, his plane crashed into the Los Padres National Forest near New Cuyama, California. The social media star then hiked to the site of the crash to retrieve the camera footage and uploaded the video on YouTube in December 2021, which has received over 2.9 million views to date.
