YouTube Pilot Pleads Guilty to Federal Charge After Crashing Airplane

[Loren Jones]

I watched an interview with Jacob and he was so smug about the video in question, he thought it was just one big joke. Bet he's not laughing now facing prison. The YouTube hits would have earned him around £6000 in ad revenue plus whatever sponsorship he had organised. Doubt he thought prison would be the result.

He could have avoided the prison aspect had not been stupid in lying to the Feds. That was a level of stupid far beyond the stunt itself, which was pretty dumb in and of itself. When that video first appeared I knew he'd be losing his pilot certificate. Compounding that with the lies took it to a whole new level of stupidity.
