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.
