Kinda like that gal who whipped out her “smart” phone to snap a few selfies as her SUV sank beneath the waves. (Incidentally this is a first for an SUV. We know they’re murderous, but this was certainly the first murder-suicide attempt by an SUV.)
He destroyed a perfectly fine aircraft for clicks.
Ping.
If he titled his webisode ‘Mythbusters’, he’d have no issues.
“A” for creativity.
“F” for the jail time he’ll get...
Kind of an expensive ploy. And he looks like Brian Laundrie.
Any landing you can walk away from is a good one.
Seems stupid, but I can’t see why this should be illegal.
Although he should have to pay to remove the wreck from the mountain, and clean up the mess he made.
“Was that wrong?”
I’ve seen people destroy much more valuable things for less including their lives.
Hold muh beer while I document my own insurance fraud.
This is disgusting. After he got his elbow scratched on landing and cussing aplenty at landing in some mountain brush he says, “I GUESS I should be documenting some of this.”
Really? Like ‘documenting the flight with a wing AND rear horizontal stabilizer CAMERAS presumably linked to a chase plane that surely was following him? (Recall the far shots of the plane in his innocent flight.)
Sure it was for clicks and revenue. He should be charged for any SAR and pickup and any other costs associated with getting his trifling butt outta there.
...obvious staged...
Did he even try an engine restart?
See Evil Knievel
That plane could have traveled into populated areas many miles from where he intended it to crash.
