YouTuber Trevor Jacob, a former Olympian and self-styled adventurer and entrepreneur, has been sent to jail for six months for deliberately crashing a plane in 2021, filming the whole thing for views, and putting the cherry on top by lying to US investigators about what happened. Even Jacob himself admitted after the sentence that this was the "right decision," per the BBC.
Jacob posted the video titled "I crashed my airplane" on December 23, 2021, during which you can see him taking off before apparent problems with the front propeller (the original video has been removed: this slightly edited version was uploaded one day later and remains live). Jacobs swears a bit before climbing out of the plane's door, with his parachute and the even-more-essential selfie stick, and filming the plane as he descends. The plane also has cameras mounted on the body filming the whole thing.
