Trevor Jacob said the his engine failed, but prior to jumping out of the plane, he put on a parachute, made no attempts to restart the engine, look for areas to land nor did he try to contact Traffic Control on the emergency frequency, the FAA says.
A YouTuber who crashed his plane in 2021 did so deliberately so he could use the footage in a video, the Federal Aviation Administration says. The video on Jacob's YouTube channel, which has 134,000 subscribers, has massed nearly 2 million views since it was posted in December.
In a letter to Jacob obtained by CBS News, the FAA says its investigation found prior to the flight, Jacob attached multiple cameras outside the plane, pointed in the direction of the propeller,"in order to record video footage of the outside and inside of the plane during flight." "You jumped out of [the plane] while holding a camera attached to a selfie stick and continued to record the aircraft during your descent," the letter reads."After the crash you recovered and then disposed of the wreckage of [the plane]." He did, however, take the cameras.
