ISBL Asshat of the Week: Trevor Jacob

I loathe Trevor Jacob, and I might like him arrested.

It seems that last year, Jacob, a social media addict, asshat and daredevil YouTuber, posted a video of himself parachuting out of a plane that he claimed had malfunctioned, purposely abandoning the aircraft and allowing it to crash into the Los Padres National Forest in Southern California.

Fact is, Trevor Jacob jumped, and crashed that plane, for views on YouTube, and while he got some views, he also lost the right to ever fly again. The Federal Aviation Administration [FAA] says Jacob violated federal aviation regulations and operated his single-engine plane in a “careless or reckless manner so as to endanger the life or property of another.”

The agency immediately revoked Jacob’s private pilot certificate, effectively ending his permission to operate any aircraft.

I think he should be arrested. Sure, maybe he saw to it that the plane would crash in an uninhabited area, but what if there were hikers, what if the plane caught fire and started a massive wildfire.

All that for a few clicks on social media.

Asshat.

  1. What kind of fresh hell?
    See? This is what I was talking about when I say 'influencers'. This man put others in danger (he didn't know where that plane was landing and how) just for clicks. Ugh. Dick.

    XOXO

  2. Agree... he should be arrested. Stupid wannabe attention seeking idiots. I am done with all of it. This fame game crap is dangerous and stupid and has no value, no purpose. F 'em.

  3. Speaking as one of those So Cal hikers, who has friends and family members who hike the same area on the reg… yeah, if some C You Next Tuesday purposefully ditched a plane for clicks and risked starting a wildfire that could have put people in danger… yeah, he’d be on the menu, as they say.

  4. I am afraid that this is the world we live in now; fame and dosh are all that is important to far too many people. We can only hope they do not become the majority but I would not put money on it.

  8. Short of the plane being on fire, or an unrecoverable loss of control, you always try to land the plane safely. Reckless endangerment?

  9. I saw this a couple of days ago and this man is so damn stupid. He had multiple cameras on the plane filming multiple angles. He actually removed the wreckage himself so no one could examine it. He is, I think, more than an asshole.
