Youtuber Jailed After Crashing Plane For Views

USA – A Youtuber has been jailed for six months for deliberately crashing his plane for millions of views, and then lying about it to U.S. investigators.

30-year-old Trevor Jacob posted the video of the plane crash in December 2021, implying it was an accident when he ejected from the plane – selfie stick in hand – and parachuted down to land.

The former olympic snowboarder pleaded guilty earlier this year to one felony count of destruction and concealment with the intent to obstruct a federal investigation.
