I know the answer is " he didn't have one", but what's the thought here?
Is the plane so cheap that getting more viewers is worth crashing it? If you post the videos you sure as hell aren't getting any insurance money, because clearly it was your fault and not posting the videos doesn't increase your viewership. And the crash wasn't even cool.

I think he assumed that his brilliant ruse of "oh no the engine just died, better immediately bail out without attempting anything else" would convince everyone that it was an authentic malfunction and not just him shutting the engine off.

Just looked, and the market rate seems to be $20-30k for a WW2 era model of that plane. IIRC Trevor bought that one as a junker and swapped the engine out, I speculate for a better trade value. That amount seems workable if you can pull in millions of views.

The possible 20 years in jail may incur an opportunity cost that was not factored in.

Toilet Rascal
To be clear, he's facing jail time not for crashing the plane, but for obstructing the NTSB investigation. He told them he didn't know where the crash site was, despite filming himself visiting it, and retrieved and disposed of some of the wreckage. And this is all coming out because he made a plea deal and admitted it so he probably won't get the full 20 years

Please don't forget that I am an extremely racist idiot who also has terrible opinions about the Culture series.
He will get nowhere near 20 years. It's standard for reporters to just talk about the statutory maximum to tart up their stories, but hardly anyone receives the statutory maximum.

https://www.popehat.com/2013/02/05/crime-whale-sushi-sentence-eleventy-million-years/

quote:

Federal sentences are calculated using the United States Sentencing Guidelines. (The usually very user-friendly United States Sentencing Commission site is under construction at the time of this writing; usually I'd link you there.) The guidelines are a very complex set of rules used to calculate a federal sentence based upon the crime charged, the circumstances of the case, and the criminal record of the defendant. Calculating a very simple sentence is like completing a very simple tax return under, say, 1040-EZ; a complex sentence is like completing a tax return for a troubled entity engaged in questionable tax practices. Or, for you old-school geeks, like creating a Runequest character for a friend who is an argumentative rules-lawyer. From the enactment of the guidelines in the 1980s until United States v. Booker in 2005, the guidelines were binding upon federal judges — they had to follow the guidelines unless there were grounds for a "departure," meaning the rare circumstance not contemplated by the guidelines. Guidelines-application litigation was time-consuming, tedious, and generally despised by trial and appellate judges. In 2005, the Supreme Court decided to construe the guidelines as mere recommendations which federal judges must consider, thus avoiding the Constitutional dilemma of the sentencing judge making findings of fact driving the sentence without a jury's input. Now, federal judges calculate and consider guidelines sentences, but make their own determination, taking into account the factors required by federal statute. Appellate courts review trial judges' sentences for "reasonableness," in which adherence to the guidelines is one factor. Sentences within the guidelines are presumed reasonable. Most federal judges tend to issue sentences close to the guidelines; some impose sentences below, but it's rarer to see one impose a sentence above.

With few exceptions — usually relating to murder, or terrorism, or huge drug cases — guideline sentences are far less than statutory maximums.

If he had just not tampered with the wreckage and lied to federal agents, he probably could have gotten away with surrendering his pilot certificate and not going to jail.

Knowing how these things so often go, the NTSB will probably proudly announce that he ended up with 120 hours of community service and a fine of $1500 like they loving caught Al Capone or something.

He’ll then post a video on YouTube titled “120 HOUR GATED COMMUNITY CROSSING GUARD LIVESTREAM CHALLENGE???” with a thumbnail of him making the 😱 face and make ten times the fine.

The tow bar made me think this was just a stationary contraption, but no, the thing sticking down in to the hood of the Suburban is apparently connecting the steering up in to the Aerostar according to this article: https://autos.yahoo.com/bp/top-minivan-stacked-suv-ultimate-hunting-party-ride-143928128.html

Also props to Google Lens for not only finding that article but correctly identifying both vehicles.

To be clear ct contrast makes it feel like you pissed yourself. MRI contrast usually gives a metallic aftertaste.

The fun thing is humans don't have a sense that tells us something is wet. Our brain figures it out from temp, textures and circumstances. That's why a spreading warmth in your crotch makes your brain say "I think we pissed ourselves". It's also why I hate when coworkers would leave the heated seats on in a vehicle and I would feel them as I started down the road.
