Actually, Trevor Daniel Jacob from California is an experienced pilot and parachutist, so he carefully planned the entire attempt and filmed the beginning of the crash, as well as his parachute jump from the cockpit, which he recorded on camera with a selfie stick. Cameras were also placed on the wing and tail of the plane.
The blogger landed successfully and then returned to the crash site. He then took the debris to dumpsters around the nearby airport.
But he was suspected of trying to create a situation that would boost popularity on YouTube under the pretext of a plane crash that occurred due to engine failure in a forest in the mountains of Santa Barbara County, and that’s what happened: a 12-minute video of the crash and rescue received more than 4 million views on the video hosting site.
