Trevor Jacob Aftermath

It was actually in late 2021 that YouTuber Trevor Jacob caused a stir with a video showing him bailing out of his airplane after, he said, it had developed engine trouble over a remote area in California. Jacob, who was wearing a parachute, was unhurt, though it did take many hours for him to hike to safety. From the start of the saga, however, observers suspected that Jacob had faked the whole thing, and this spring, the FAA weighed in, revoking Jacob's pilot certificate, calling the stunt egregious and reckless.
